Autor

Joanna Baker writes murder mysteries set in small villages and remote places. Her first two books are 5 star rated on Amazon. Devastation Road was reviewed in The Age of Melbourne as "outstanding". Reviewers love that the books are intriguing and provide all the clues, cleverly concealed. Joanna was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania, stunningly beautiful, lonely, remote, with wilderness, wild coastlines and a complex and fascinating history. Tasmania is a gift for a crime writer. In 2004 Sisters in Crime Australia awarded Devastation Road the Davitt Award for best Young Adult Novel. The Age described it as " an outstanding first novel, a genuinely puzzling and intriguing murder mystery with a sophisticated grasp of character." Joanna says: "I aim to write page-turners and mind games. I'm fascinated by how we think about ourselves and other people and the world, what we say to each other, how we communicate, how we obfuscate ... and how we lie.I write about families and close friends, people who think they know each other really well. But maybe they don't."
