This is my first book by C D Major and I loved it. I had never heard of Thin Places before, but thanks to this book I now know that they are places where the boundary between heaven and earth is especially thin. It's a ghostly gothic thriller with an incredibly spooky, creepy setting. Overtoun House and it's grounds are said to be a thin place. The author describes the setting brilliantly and I could feel a chill in my bones as I listened.

The story is told on two timelines and each story was absolutely compelling and made me want just one more chapter ..... then another and another! It's a slow burn novel with a plot that slowly unravels building tension. It does deal with some difficult subjects such as child cruelty and dog 'suicides' and I was fascinated to kisten to the authors note at the end saying that Overtoun House, and the bridge are real places in Scotland, and dogs really have jumped to their deaths from the bridge. I know I wouldn't want to go there with my dogs!
