Publisher's Summary
'Bolton is a gripping storyteller with fine, haunted characters.' (Peter James)
Just before dawn in the hills near the Scottish border, a man murders a young woman.
At the same time, a hot-air balloon crashes out of the sky. There's just one survivor. She's seen the killer's face - but he's also seen hers. And he won't rest until he's eliminated the only witness to his crime. Alone, scared, trusting no one, she's running to where she feels safe - but it could be the most dangerous place of all....

Brilliant
I don't normally take the time to write about a book I have read or listened to but I felt I had to with this one. It had me gripped from start to finish. It was fabulous!

Intelligent, multi-layered mystery
A hot air balloon crashes with 13 people on board. Only eleven bodies are recovered. What happened to the other two? And why would someone walk away from the crash without calling for help?
You will need to read it to find out! This is one mystery you should delve into blindly. I repeat - to make the most out of Bolton’s brilliant storytelling, DO NOT read any reviews until you have finished the book. You can thank me later!
I was almost hesitant to pick up Dead Woman Walking, seeing how absolutely GREAT all books by this author have been so far, and I was worried that she could not possibly surpass my previous favourites. But I should have known better – Sharon Bolton is an author on top of her game, and her latest book is no exception. Whilst I will not say any more about the story, for fear of giving away any spoilers, I can safely state that it contains one of the best and most nail-biting cat-and-mouse games I have read in a long, long time. I was actually holding my breath for so long that I felt slightly light-headed with anxiety-induced hypoxia, and that’s not a good thing when you are listening to the audiobook on your daily drive to work!
Apart from characters who are enigmatic, interesting and well-rounded (except the “baddies”, who are suitably terrifying), Bolton delivers her usual hallmark of atmospheric tension, suspense and twists aplenty. This is an author who knows how to mount the tension to near unbearable levels, like nails noisily scraping across a blackboard, before revealing another morsel of information that may help to unravel the Celtic knot that forms this multi-layered plot. With a theme that is contemporary and well-researched, it had me spellbound, asking myself: could this really be happening right under our noses? And although there were times when I thought I had to suspend disbelief a tiny bit to go along with it, Bolton always offered a very plausible explanation for everything that happened (which, for an old cynic like me, is a necessary part of reading pleasure). Bolton also knows how to lay a few bear traps for the unsuspecting reader, and I promptly fell into all of them, every time I thought I was on the right track in working it all out. I am duly humbled ....
A big credit also goes to Julia Barrie, who brought the book to life with her wonderful narration. I loved her ability to adopt different voices and dialects so effortlessly, which created vivid images of all individual characters in my mind.
All in all, Dead Woman Walking is the kind of intelligent, multi-layered mystery the author seems to deliver so effortlessly, time and time again. It once again proved why Bolton is very firmly embedded on top of my favourite authors list, and will not be easily toppled. If you want to read one spellbinding mystery this year, make sure to pick up Dead Woman Walking – it will not disappoint!

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.

Loved the narrator
I had read good reviews but I felt this book was only ok, not as good at I expected. There were some good parts and a bit of suspense but it didn't grab me like some others do. I couldn't really get into it but I loved the narrator using different voices.

Chronology confusing
What disappointed you about Dead Woman Walking?
I think this should have been and excellent book except for the continuing jump starts where events that shaped the day are not years apart but merely days or hours. I listened twice over and made little more sense of it the second time. I gave up before finishing this reading.
Has Dead Woman Walking put you off other books in this genre?
Never! I've come across some exceptional titles in this genre.
How could the performance have been better?
Performance was very good. It was an impossible book to read well. The need for more than 120 chapters is a good indicator to how often your concentration was asked to shift back and forth.
What character would you cut from Dead Woman Walking?
No idea. I didn't get it.
Any additional comments?
I read great books with multiple voices, sometimes spanning centuries and many generations. This story should have maintained it's chronological sequence since it took place in a very few days.
