The Thin Place
CD MAJOR (THOMAS & MERCER, £8.99)
From the author of the CWA Dagger-nominated The Other Girl comes this creepy, clever and compulsive chiller that grips from the opening page. When journalist Ava decides to delve into the mystery of the Overtoun Estate – known as a “thin place”, where the distance between life and death collapses – she assumes the myths surrounding the house are nothing more than folklore. But as the local community turns against her, and secrets come to light about the people who once lived there, what started as a passion project becomes an obsession to Ava – one that will lead her to great danger. Unsettling, eerie and richly atmospheric, this haunting story is a read-in-one-sitting delight. ★★★★
