Creepy house.
Family secrets.
Sibling rivalry.
A struggling marriage.
An obsessive journalist.
Ava is twelve weeks pregnant - the scan showing a healthy fetus. Excited to share her news, Ava visits her mum - sure their close relationship will cause not only joy for her mum but also inspire her mum to share her own childhood, any family illnesses, etc.
Instead they have an argument - their relationship torn. Her sister, Pippa, has no information to share.
Then Ava learns of a bridge - renown for an alarming large number of dogs jumping off and dying. What is it about this bridge that draws dogs? And Ava? Something about the house, the grounds pulls Ava. Her cameraman refers to it as a Thin Place - the divide between reality and the afterlife can be felt, so tiny as though you can fall through.
A slow build mystery - held my attention and spooky.

The Thin Place is a story told by three perspectives. Ava is a journalist with an obsessive personality. Although pregnant with her first child she becomes wrapped up in investigating the haunting tales of a local bridge and nearby estate in Glasgow. Ava digs deeper and deeper into the hauntings of the grounds and just what horrible events happened there previously. At the height of her obsession I found myself no longer able to like or even relate to her character.
The chapters with Marion and Constance were the most intriguing. I was hooked on their perspectives and eager to learn just what had happened in their lives. Although an interesting read, I had guessed a main part of the plot/ending by the midpoint. This is disappointing in a mystery/thriller novel.

Thanks to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book but I didn’t love it. I liked the story line and how the writer used different POV throughout the book.
I was wanting so much more creepiness to keep me gripped. When I saw the title I was expecting more scene setting and having a more eerie feeling.
The characters were ok, however Ava really annoyed me and her behaviour just baffled me. But it was nice to read about characters from the past, I wish there was a little more on them.
One part I did love is at the end the writer gives you some facts on what this book is actually based on which I found really interesting.
I’d say there are some trigger points in this and some parts I found quite sad to read about.
Overall I still would recommend this book purely because it is based on some true events.

Thank you to Netgally for a copy of this book!

Kniha, plná temných rodinných tajemství, se špetkou tajemna, vystavěná na reálných základech. Tak by se dala stručně popsat Mezi dvěma světy.
Zvláštní je, že i když mi žádná z postav nebyla výrazněji sympatická, autorce se podařilo vystavět příběh, který zaujal natolik, že to vlastně ani nijak nevadilo. Život trojice žen, novinářky Avy, Marion a její dcery Konstance, se tu prolíná napříč časovými osami a v závěru se spojí ve více méně očekávaném rozuzlení. I když je kniha v mnoha bodech hodně předvídatelná a od začátku jsem s jistotou věděla, jak se to s Konstance vlastně má, je natolik čtivá a příběh mě zaujal, že na tom v podstatě nezáleží.
Opět však narážím na to, že kniha je prezentována jako něco, čím skutečně není. NENÍ to plnohodnotný thriller ani horor. Nejpřesněji by se dala vystihnou asi jako "rodinné drama s prvky tajemna" a nádechem gotického románu.

From the first few pages I thought I was going to really like this book. It was a little bit creepy and seemed like it would be a gothic suspense/horror book. However, as I delved deeper into the story I found that I wasn't really interested in the characters. I figured out what the story would be pretty quickly and felt I was just turning the pages to finish the book, not really interested in it.

I’m sorry but this was just bad and boring

I tried to like it but there was nothing to like

Easy reading as story carried on nicely with good tension and thriller aspects though tackles some unsettling topics.

This book was a nice break from my typical romance thriller / mystery.

The story is told from three perspectives; Ava in present day and Marion and Constance from the past. When Ava gets pregnant and can’t answer all of the questions on her family history- it brings up questions of her mother’s past. Her job as a news reporter takes her to a site that is eerily familiar from when her mom attended a funeral there. She gets caught up in this work and it causes strife between her baby’s father and her family. Marion’s story is one of a maiden taken to live in a magnificent castle with a wealthy man. It doesn’t take long for the fairytale to fade away as her husband becomes cold after the loss of her first baby, Constance’s story is told as a child living in this castle but being made to lie about her health to the doctor, Her story is one of sadness, lies, and loneliness. But how do these stories connect and relate?

The author did a nice job of tying it together. I didn’t mind the predictability of the connection between the characters, I wish I would’ve heard more or understood more of Marion’s actions. I also would’ve liked closure with Garry and the main character, what had his experience been the night he was left alone? I know that they talked- but I would’ve liked to hear the exact conversation between Keven and Frances, that would have been interesting! Overall- great read, I wasn’t expecting to be so tied in, but it was very intriguing. Then to find it was written about a real place- spent another few hours googling that!

Thanks for the ARC NetGalley!
