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.

Bolton establishes a forbidding atmosphere . . . A slippery, devious narrative in which things are not always what they seem.

Bolton is a gripping storyteller with fine, haunted characters

With Dead Woman Walking Sharon Bolton exceeds her own high standards of excellence. It grips from the start... The plots merge skilfully, with many splendid twists along the way.

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.

A real race-through read. Bolton's writing is pacy, and features a brilliant twist I wish I'd written.

It's an absolute barnstormer! A blisteringly brilliant read.

A take on the chase genre that is decidedly original . . . bursting at the seams with narrative, setting and complexity of character.

Takes readers on quite a chase
