#1 BEST SELLING MYSTERY AMAZON eBOOK (MARCH 2012)* MANY MONTHS ON THE AMAZON LIST OF BEST-SELLING MYSTERY SERIES There are approximately one-hundred-and-sixty million women living in America. This is a story of just one woman. As the story unfolds Linda gradually learns that some people do deserve to die, but that she is not one of those people.Linda Darby is a seven-year divorcee, living … divorcee, living quietly in a small let-the-world-go-by beach town on the coast of Oregon, who day trades for a living. Her only close friend is a widowed elderly woman who manages a small consulting company, which, as is later discovered, never has visitors, sends and receives its business correspondence only by courier, and is not listed in any phone directory. No one in town knows what kind of consulting the company does, but the rumor is that whatever they do is done for the government.
Linda doesn’t date local men. When her celibacy grows intolerable, she visits nearby towns to frequent the watering holes of successful men. Her motto: No relationships. No second dates. No use of her real name during one-night stands.
Then one evening, Linda goes for a walk and nothing for her is ever the same. She is dragged into an alley by two men, but saved by a third, a stranger who disappears as suddenly as he appeared. The next day she finds out the two men in the alley had been killed, the town’s first murders ever. The following day she learns that hours before she had been dragged into the alley, her close friend was tortured and killed. The next night, she awakens several hours after going to bed to find a man sitting in her bedroom, watching her.
In the days that follow, events stretching all the way to the nation’s capital change who Linda is, what she thinks, and how she will live the rest of her life.

Great mystery, intricate characters and surprises along the way. Of course there is a bad guy, but shows how simple mistakes can become big ones.
This was an excellent. It kept my interest to the end. I loved the characters
I liked this book (mostly). Not predictable from a plot standpoint. But a few too many assaults on reality in the story line and way too much leaning on a quirk of one of the main characters. An overall easy and fairly entertaining read.
Painful to finish
Makes you want the next book
Loved the story and characters
great book, Loved it
Action right off the bat. People preforming differently they should due to the job they have. An Innocent caught in a dangerous world.
One of the best books I have read in a long time!
I wanted to be “The Woman”! Evoked feelings I thought were long gone for me.
Main female character started out as kinda out of touch but finally woke up to her situation. Lots of gratuitous violence but since that was the mind-set of the paranoid villain, it worked to enhance the stakes. The political situations were sometimes over-explained and repeated. Sex was a common thread throughout, with an alpha male overtone. …
Great book. Kept me interested the whole way.
The Woman by David Bishop is a very good book about a woman who got involved in an assassination situation through no fault of her own. The book gives the old adage “guilty by association” a whole new meaning! It makes you wonder what really goes on in our world sometimes.
The plot for this novel will keep you you guessing to the end and beyond. The heroine, Linda, stays the same person throughout, but the other characters keep switching between good guy/bad guy personas. That is why I say it kept me guessing beyond the ending. I think I know what to expect next, but maybe not. Well written.
Wow i read all the time so to get a book like this to read is wonderful. I just couldn’t leave it alone! It is so impressive when someone can take the same language i’ve spoken all my life and put word together like this story. I truly enjoyed every word in this book. I am sure you will enjoy it
it was entertaining but not too realistic
Loved it great book.
