Friendships can start in the most unlikely of places. I think the controversial nature of one of the characters makes the story inviting. I'd love to see where this friendship leads.

A book about a journey to self-discovery rolled up in mystery is one I've never tried before. From this review, I can tell that this will be such a phenomenal read. I'm definitely adding this to my shelf, and I'll try it out when I find time between reviews. Well done.

I was intrigued by the story revolving around two convicts, but I'm not too sure about the romance aspect. Nonetheless, congratulations on BOTD!

Interesting review. The title has my curiosity piqued. In reading the sample reading, I see that Calvery's last words before his execution was "See you in the thin places." Now I'm interested in reading what that means and what happens to the daughter he left behind.

This sounds like a great book. But from your review, I couldn’t detect anything that sounds like self discovery.

I have to know who these characters are and why Tully's life is crumbling fast. I do love the cover art for this book. Mystery novels rarely come up on my radar but this one I will take a chance on.

The novel is a good read. It begins with suspense then the events that unfold later just flow. Tully starts by creating suspense by telling us that the people that the world turns away from and those that you least expect are the ones that really know the meaning of life. In this novel the person being referred to is Calvery Thomas who is a death row inmate. He talks to the writer about meeting in the thin place of which are even the last words of the guy before he dies.

It is unfortunate that this book ended almost like a cliffhanger. There was no detailed buildup at the end. Regardless, this is a great book. Congratulations on the book of the day.

This is a fiction of mystery and self discovery based on Irish culture and folklore. An innocent victim is sentenced to death row and his dying wish is shared to fellow prisoner. Mystery unfolds. Interesting story and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

The most recurring questions are how and why was Calvery framed for murder and how will Chloe react to this new revelation? I would not mind reading Thin Places and finding out what happens.

Thin Places is an interesting book in the mystery genre. It is so sad that an innocent man was imprisoned and executed. I will love to see what happens to Chloe and Tully. Good one from the author. Congratulations on being the book of the day! Nice review.
