“ 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. ”
Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail
“ Bolton establishes a forbidding atmosphere . . . A slippery, devious narrative in which things are not always what they seem. ”
Crime Scene
“ Bolton is a gripping storyteller with fine, haunted characters ”
Peter James
“ 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. ”
Marcel Berlins, The Times
“ 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. ”
Barry Forshaw, Guardian
“ A real race-through read. Bolton's writing is pacy, and features a brilliant twist I wish I'd written. ”
Clare Mackintosh (in Shortlist)
“ It's an absolute barnstormer! A blisteringly brilliant read. ”
Mick Herron
“ A take on the chase genre that is decidedly original . . . bursting at the seams with narrative, setting and complexity of character. ”
Mystery Scene
“ Takes readers on quite a chase ”
