Biography

edit

Raised in Hillsboro, Oregon, she graduated from the city's Glencoe High School.[1] Her novel Gone is set in a fictionalized version of Tillamook, Oregon.[1]

In the mid-1990s, she was a research analyst in Boston with Mercer Management (now Oliver Wyman). She credited her long days doing research for giving her the skills needed to follow a line of investigation while learning new topics.[2]

As of 2014, Gardner lives in New England with her family. She is known for her work with animal rescue and at-risk children, receiving the Silver Bullet Award from the International Thriller Writers in 2017 in honor of her efforts.
