I LOVED Kathryn Davis' book "The Thin Place," but I've had no luck with her other novels. Like "Hell" and "Versailles," this account of two married couples -- "frenemies," whose shared business interests and similar lifestyles seem to dictate that they socialize and call themselves friends, in spite of the fact that they all hate each other --on a walking tour of mystical/historical sites in Wales seems unfocused, a hodge-podge of bits (diary entries, postcards, random poems and memories) that probably seemed very clever to someone, but to me seemed trying to force tension from a wafer-thin plot, and depth to dull, annoying characters.

A fastinating mystery story of a quirky group of people who join up for a walking tour of wales - told by the daughter of one of the couples. You'll keep coming back to get the whole story!

Complex, but interesting and intriguing. Beautifully written; well drawn characters whose manners and motives are brilliantly depicted.
Although some in my book discussion group thought it too confusing, we had lively discussion of all aspects of the book
