From the excellent review, this book seems to have a bit of everything; suspense, mystery, an unsolved murder. The characters of Finn, Butch and Chloe seem interesting.

The book cover was really catchy and was the first thing that drew my attention. On reading the review, I realized that the book is about a search for hidden truth and treasures. 'Thin places' does sound like a great read for me.

Nothing could be more mesmeric than a combination of romance and suspense. I'm already filled with deep emotions about the man about to be executed, whose only desire is to prove his innocence to his daughter.

Thin places is predominantly based on places which are far fetched but fascinating to get to,this tittle is self explanatory and interesting to the eye and mind of a thoughtful reader.

A book about people who meet during uncertain circumstances seems to be appealing. I love the mystery it feels of. It will surely keep everyone on their toes.

The title is a total mystery to me. The cover doesn't give much clue, either. I am not sure I would enjoy this complicated story. But since it is BOTD, this book deserves the benefit of the doubt. I'll give Chloe and Tully a chance.

And discover how Tully is making his mind to talk about Chloe's father's innocence despite the growing feelings towards the latter.

That is one detailed review. I wonder what fate lies ahead of Tully and Chloe. The plot seems engaging, but there seems to be a complexity of characters. All in all, I enjoyed reading this wonderful review.

The review has a detailed summary that explains the intricate connections between different characters. Two inmates, one on death row strike an unlikely friendship. It appears that a lot of happenings occur in the quest for Chloe by Tully and his mother. I am intrigued by the themes of friendship, mystery, love, and family relationships. I wonder if Chloe was able to resist the temptation presented by the lure of business with Duke. Or did she respond favorably to the message from her father?

Reading the preview on this book seems to be confusing from the beginning and everything seems to be a mystery.
The book seems to be very complicated.

I find the review to be quite interesting. When I was reading through the part about Calvert being innocent but on a death row and him asking Tully to help find his wife and daughter, it reminded of the movie "Miracle in Cell number 7". I loved how descriptive and on edge the book leaves me just from the review. I'll give it a go. Congrats BOTD.
