Jo Murray
Jo Murray was raised in Teesside, England, during the 1990s, where working-class girls were discouraged from pursuing careers at the bar.
Defying expectations, she studied Classics at Newcastle University before attending law school and building a career as a criminal barrister.
She later left legal practice to raise her two children and now lives in North Yorkshire.
Her firsthand experience in criminal law lends her debut fiction an authenticity that many reviewers specifically praised, noting how she makes complex legal procedures and terminology accessible without overwhelming readers with jargon.
