About this listen

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

Couldn't stand Julia Barrie's performance

The book itself was great as usual with a plot twist and everything, but I simply couldn't bear the narrator. Reading the 2 sisters' characters gave the impression of them being 2 demented old ladies sipping tea on a porch and not vibrant adults they were in the book.

Twisty Ride - a Really Good Listen

What did you love best about Dead Woman Walking?

It was very atmospheric. I could really picture the rain on the northern England moors. (And it rained a lot!).

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The story was a little slow to start, but good. By the middle, yes, I couldn't stop listening. I took my dog for extra walks just so I could listen a little more.

Which character – as performed by Julia Barrie – was your favorite?

Of course, the main character and her sister were my favourite. But I loved Mother Hildegarde (the head nun), as well as a couple of the other nuns who provided some gentle humour.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No really extreme reactions. A little sad at parts, mostly excited and holding my breath at other parts.

Any additional comments?

If you like suspenseful, twisty mysteries with an adventurous heroine and some bad guys, but no sex, you will probably like this moody, atmospheric tale.
