This was a very intriguing story. At first I thought that three different storylines would be too much, or that it could get confusing, but it wasn’t the case. The story was kind of predictable, at least for me, from very early on, but I enjoyed how the author placed the clues and foreshadowing. Also, there were some unexpected events that kept the suspense going. As for the writing, I think that it was pretty good, the story was fluid, and the pace was fast. I also like the concept of thin places, I didn’t know they were a thing outside of this book, but it gave an original spin on a story that otherwise wouldn’t have stood out much.

As for the main characters, I will separate this in the three storylines:

1930s: Hamish was a nightmare of a person and husband and for about half of the novel I felt bad about Marion and the babies, but then I found out she was a horrible person, and her behaviour is not justified.

1950s: The storyline of Constance and the dog was devastating to read, how can a person (the mother) hold so much hatred inside.

Present: Ava made me really angry for most of the book, because of how she neglected the people she loved the most, including her husband and unborn baby. With her family I was a bit on the fence, because I did not trust her mother, and there was something about the sister that irked me a little.

Overall, it was a good book, I recommend reading it if you enjoy mystery thrillers. Also, I didn’t see the ending coming, it was a nice shocking way to finish the book.
