With her bestselling books making a splash internationally, Kathryn Bonella, bestselling writer of true crime kindle, paperback and audible books has established a global fanbase. Her true crime books focussing on Bali, drug smuggling, surfing and Brazil have become a rite of passage for many surfers and travellers, especially those who travel to Bali and Brazil.
Kathryn studied as a journalist at RMIT in Melbourne, moved to London to freelance for print and TV, then returned to Australia in 2000 to produce for 60 Minutes.
It was a true crime story about a 27-year-old Australian beauty school student, Schapelle Corby, being arrested at Bali international airport with kilos of cocaine in her bodyboard bag that springboarded Kathryn from journalist to bestselling organized crime author. After covering the story for 60 Minutes, Kathryn was offered the chance to co-write with Schapelle her autobiography, Schapelle Corby: My Story.
It went straight to number one and Kathryn was a new voice in the true crime genre.
Kathryn's publisher asked 'well, what's next?'
So far, three more true crime bestsellers: Hotel Kerobokan, internationally titled Hotel K, which blew the lid off the notorious Bali jail; Snowing in Bali, a true life crime thriller about the island's cocaine dealers; and Operation Playboy, the adrenalin-pumping true crime story of surfers trafficking drugs across the globe and the international police chase for the organized crime gang.
If you are a fan of true-crime biography books, mafia books, organized crime books, books about hoaxes, deceptions and murder and mayhem then these bestselling books are for YOU!
