Lois Duncan

    28 april 1934 – 15 juni 2016

    Lois Duncan was een meester in suspense voor jonge lezers, bekend om haar meeslepende thrillers die zich vaak bezighielden met misdaad en mysterie. Haar werken, vaak gemaakt voor een jong publiek, doken zonder angst in donkerdere thema's, waarbij ze ingewikkelde plots weefde die de lezers op het puntje van hun stoel hielden. Duncan bezat een scherp vermogen om sfeer op te bouwen, waarbij ze een precieze stijl gebruikte om een gevoel van onbehagen en spanning te creëren. Haar verhalen worden gekenmerkt door boeiende mysteries en haar kenmerkende aanpak om spanning te creëren in toegankelijke verhalen.
