More News & BlogWhen THE INFORMATIONIST released in March of 2011, it seemed that the media and book reviewers focused nearly as much on detailing particulars of my own life story as they did on the novel itself.

Editorial Reviews
"Stevens writes with the confidence of one who knows she's hit on a winning series character who has the world at her beck and call." - Los Angeles Times
"Impressive ... the gripping plot runs on adrenaline as much as Vanessa who unleashes her violent tendencies when the powerless are threatened. Vanessa makes for an intriguing heroine - at once tough, fearless, vulnerable and compassionate." - Publishers Weekly
"Part Lisbeth Salander, part Jason Bourne, Munroe comes out swinging hard again... A gritty, suspenseful novel." - Library Journal
"A strong and gripping thriller." - Canberra Times
"The Innocent comes through with credibility intact and enjoyment levels high." - Steve Perkin, Daily Telegraph
