Sharon Bolton’s standalone novels span nearly two decades and showcase her ability to find menace in specific places. Sacrifice is set on the Shetland Islands, Blood Harvest in a Yorkshire village, and Little Black Lies on the Falkland Islands. Each book uses its location to create an atmosphere of isolation and unease.
Her more recent standalones, including The Pact, The Fake Wife, and The Neighbour’s Secret, have moved toward domestic suspense while keeping the plotting tight and the twists earned. The Token (2025) is her most recent novel.
