“Criminal, policeman, victim, Bolton plays the three sides of her triangle deftly against the middle . . . guaranteed to provide its share of chills.” —Kirkus ReviewsIn Dead Woman Walking, from master of suspense Sharon Bolton, the sole survivor of a hot-air balloon crash witnesses a murder as the balloon is falling.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 . . .“The satisfactions of a Bolton novel are many. Her plots fit together like a beautifully made jigsaw . . . the end could not be more satisfying.” —Mystery Scene Magazine“The plot will become unsettlingly twisty, but the author is an expert guide, taking readers on an exceptional and memorable adventure.” —Shelf Awareness“Bolton’s done it again, writing a terrifying, fast-paced, twisty thriller that will surprise you, reveal after reveal.” —RT Book Reviews“Thrilling and suspenseful. You will remain glued to its page until you finish it. It’s a necessary crime thriller for those who love crime thrillers.” —Washington Book Review

"I love fast-paced thrillers, and Dead Woman Walking delivered throughout most of the book. It's a unique story, and it really held my interest. <br/><br/>My only complaint is that I feel like there was too much effort to raise emotions in the last portion of the book, but that may just be me. I don't know if the very final twists / information really add much to the story and deserve to be the ending, but I still liked it.<br/><br/>There are a lot of twists and turns in this book, and there were a couple I didn't see coming. I thought something was going to end up differently, so there are successful red herrings, which I always enjoy. <br/><br/>This book will be out on 9/5, and you should definitely check it out if you're looking for a fast-paced creative thriller. Thank you to Sharon Bolton & Minotaur Books for my early copy!"
