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.
