This seems to be an interesting book. I like how it blends mystery, self-discovery, and Irish folklore as it creates an intriguing and immersive reading experience. The themes of personal growth and redemption also add depth to the story. It seems like a book that would keep readers engaged and leave a lasting impression. Great review.

I liked the setup at the beginning of this book. Two men in prison, another one in death row; and another is left with a dying man’s last wish. I am curious to see whether Tully kept his promise, and what came out of it.

Thank you for this detailed review!

It is a sad story!. However l wish my predictions about Tully's innocence will be true but never wish him dead rather return safe and sound to wife and daughter once again.

This review is well done and finds a mix of opinions about the book. The title leads me into thinking of answers or relationships in an area usually unknown. With so much open in the story, I'll need to read it to find out for myself.

I was expecting to read about Celtic mixed with romance and mystery. Although, fairly predictable but the fact that the story didn't end in a happy-after way made it interesting to me. I hope Calvary's name is cleared and Tully finds love again. Congrats on BOTD.

Thin Places is a fine novel with an intriguing storyline about a young man, Finn Tully, incarcerated in a Texas prison from actions related to his heroine addiction. An interesting book. Nice review. Congratulations on BOTD!

This is an unusual story, but it piques my interest. I'm sure I'd love it because this is a book I'd like to read.

I just read a comment, it said that the title comes from Celtic folklore, and I don't think I have ever heard about that, I thought “Thin Places" is just supposed to be an English phrase.
I feel intrigued by this story. Calvery is innocent but is on death row and was executed, Tully is trying to find Chloe to try prove her father's innocence.
