Many thanks to Net Galley and Amazon Publishing/Thomas & Mercer for gifting me a digital copy of this gothic mystery by CD Major - 4 stars for a chilling mystery.
The thin place is a Celtic expression for places where the gap between heaven and earth is closer. In the present day, journalist Ava is investigating a rumored thin place - an old castle with a nearby bridge where dogs apparently leap to their deaths for no reason. Ava soon becomes obsessed with the story and the house. In alternating chapters, we hear from Marian in 1929 and Constance in 1949, who both lived in the house. There are plenty of twists and turns to see how all three timelines are related.
This is a fast-paced read and each story line is chilling in its own way, but especially Constance's. I enjoyed the creepy, gothic feel of this story. Be sure to read the author's note because the house and bridge are real places!
