More About the Author

Gabrielle Lord is one of Australia's bestselling crime writers for adults. Following the Conspiracy 365 series, she already has plans for another three adult novels and two more young adult books. Research is everything, Gabrielle says. 'Out of my contacts with experts (who are always far too modest to describe themselves that way) I get not only the fine-tuning necessary for today's savvy readers, but also wonderful incidents and images that enrich and enlarge my books.'

This review is from: Jumbo (Hardcover)

Gabrielle Lord is woefully unknown, in my opinion. I've enjoyed everything I've ever read by her, and this is one of the best. It brings you into the world of Lisa, an unhappy Australian teenager struggling in a world that is indifferent to her existence. She is a believable, real character, and as she descends into madness, it makes you wonder exactly how much of it can be blamed on the society that ignores her. I spent quite a happy while reading this book and biting my nails waiting to see what happened!
