Wallman's writing is characterised by tight plotting, atmospheric tension, and an understanding of the social dynamics of adolescence that makes her thrillers feel authentically rooted in the teenage experience. She creates protagonists who are intelligent and resourceful but also vulnerable and flawed, navigating situations that test not just their physical safety but their moral compass and their understanding of who they can trust.
