Publisher's Summary

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

'For once, the description "impossible to put down" is full merited, for this is an absolute page-turner' -- Daily Mail
'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

A Journey Well Worth Taking

This latest offering from Sharon Bolton clearly shows that she is a forerunner in her field. It is one of the most intelligent mysteries I have ever read. The core characters are both well developed and amorphous - slotting into a crafted novel that exceeds expectation at every turn. The novel has so many turns one almost needs a map - and that is not a bad thing at all, it creates a sense of journey with an unknown destination. This is a road well worth travelling on. It will be a hard novel to top in Sharon's next literary endeavour - the complexity is reminiscent of Reginald Hill at his finest.

Great story

Loved this book, it was full of unexpected twists and turns. The only negative was that the narration, while well performed, was kind of an older lady voice that made it hard to picture the main characters as in their 30s, I kept imagining them as middle aged women which didn’t fit the story. Would definitely recommend though

Fabulous!

I wish I could find the words! Dead Woman Walking is a magnificently crafted novel combining edge-of-your-chair narrative, unexpected twists and well rounded characters.
