Author: Gabrielle Lord

Gabrielle Lord is an Australian crime writer whose Conspiracy 365 sequence brought a serial countdown structure to younger readers. December completes the original annual sequence, following a protagonist whose pursuit of answers has advanced month by month. Revenge continues the narrative after that calendar cycle and was issued by Scholastic Australia in 2011. The sequence combines coded clues, urgent deadlines, shifting loyalties, and questions about family history, with each volume designed to move directly into the next. Lord brought experience writing crime fiction for older readers to the pace and investigative detail, while the monthly format gave the younger series its distinctive architecture. December is therefore the twelfth numbered installment, and Revenge follows as the continuation commonly listed after it. That precise ordering directly links the two titles within one continuous sequence. Together, the two books show how Lord extended a complete annual story without abandoning the mystery framework that made Conspiracy 365 recognizable. Its chronology helped readers track recurring clues while every monthly installment retained a distinct narrative task.
