Summary

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

Crime thriller with Nuns

I'd never have dreamt of such a combination but that's why I am the reader and not the author. Ms Bolton has whipped up a wonderful combination here, from the balloon ride at the beginning, to the very surprising end.
You may think that you know what is going on, but you'll be wrong, unless you too have an extraordinarily vivid imagination.

Wow!

Wow! The best book I've listened to in a very long time. No way of guessing who done what. A credit very well spent.

recommended, a good listen

A great listen, nice and long at over 12 hours, and an interesting story. Scenes well described - I am writing this several months after listening, but can still feel the pace of the story and have a very vivid picture of what unfolds.

Brilliant

I've been lucky enough to find some really good listens lately and this has to top the lot. Really fast moving action filled plot, interesting characters and great narration. More like this please.

Love Sharon Bolton Books

I can’t imagine how I missed this one but I am so glad that I listened to it for my TBC challenge
A man in killing a woman while a balloon full of people is going overhead and the only survivor has seen his face
This book had me hooked from the beginning and had me holding my breath more often than not. The plot is very carefully unfolding through cleverly crafted plot which has many twists and turns. Some you see and some you really don’t
I would always recommend Sharon Bolton books and this one is no different
