Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton
5.0
Sharon Bolton is fast becoming my author to go to if I need to feel scared, chilled, shocked and shout out OMG at various points often when I'm in public.
I should say that if any one is thinking of trying out a hot air balloon you might have second thoughts after this outing. That first chapter - I felt the lurch in my stomach at the same time as those in that flying basket. It's quite a premise - people in a hot air balloon see a crime being committed down below. The criminal sees the face of one of the women clearly and she is the only one to survive...
What follows is quite frankly one of the best chases/investigations/twisty turning mysteries that I've read in a while. Oh and those nuns! Ah you can't beat some nuns hidden in the shadows with some dark secrets under their habits. And the forest which seems to swallow up any kind of evidence that may have been left behind. When you read it feels silent like you're in that forest and then SNAP is that a branch or the BOOM of a Bolton bomb as I'm now going to call the twists and 'Didn't see that coming' moments in one of this author's books.
