What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
In this compelling and utterly addictive thriller, bestselling author Sharon Bolton gives us a fascinating look at the extreme lengths people will go to in desperation, whatever their situation. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Cara Hunter and Karin Slaughter, it's a dark and decidedly spine-tingling thriller that will get right under the skin...
SHE'S SEEN THE KILLER'S FACE. BUT HE'S ALSO SEEN HERS...
Just before dawn in the hills near the Scottish border, thirteen passengers on a hot-air balloon flight witness a brutal murder. Within the next hour, all but one of them will be dead.
Alone, scared and trusting no-one, she flees for her life, running to the one place she feels safe.
But the killer won't rest until he's eliminated the last witness to his crime . . .
'Bolton is a gripping storyteller with fine, haunted characters' -- Peter James

'It grips from the start . . . The plot merges skilfully, with many splendid twists along the way' -- The Times
'Bolton establishes a forbidding atmosphere . . . A slippery, devious narrative in which things are not always what they seem' -- Crime Scene

Critics Review

Bolton never lets the tension drop. Indeed it is her ability to convey creeping dread that marks out her exceptional talent as a story-teller... For once, the description 'impossible to put down' is fully merited, for this is an absolute page-turner.

-
Dead Woman Walking once again signals what has made the novels of Sharon Bolton so successful: her clever amalgamation of two genres - the crepuscular, uncanny mystery . . . and the more traditional crime/thriller narrative.
Barry Forshaw, Guardian
-
A real race-through read. Bolton's writing is pacy, and features a brilliant twist I wish I'd written.
Clare Mackintosh (in Shortlist)
-
It's an absolute barnstormer! A blisteringly brilliant read.
Mick Herron
-
A take on the chase genre that is decidedly original . . . bursting at the seams with narrative, setting and complexity of character.
Mystery Scene
-
Takes readers on quite a chase
