What is the new Conspiracy 365 series about? The series is written by Gabrielle Lord, a bestselling Australian author of adult crime novels. The Conspiracy 365 series is a thrilling suspense novel that runs for a year – with a book released each month to continue the story. The series is geared for ages 11–15.

The story is told in real time, and the books include codes and clues/pictures to help readers figure out the mystery about who wants Callum dead. The pages are also numbered backwards, beginning with 192 and working down to 0 – with each book ending with a cliffhanger. All the clues readers need to unravel the mystery are found in the books.

One customer said they liked the story – and also that Conspiracy “is not another vampire book.”

There is no swearing in the book, which was refreshing to see. Callum was a nice kid who loved his family, but was just falsely accused. Think The Fugitive.
