about
Jan Murphy
Character-driven mysteries, surprise endings, and delicious fun in between.

the short version
Who I am
A good mystery book and a strong cup of tea fixes everything.
A brilliant whodunit, memorable characters and a puzzle to solve are the perfect combination for the books I’m drawn to. As an art enthusiast I wrote about what I knew best. The Galleries Series offers readers a splash of art woven into the twists and turns of a page-turning mystery.
After writing a handful of romances I dove into the mystery genre. Yay! I found my niche.

A cup of tea and a good puzzle
My husband is the perfect cup of tea. No mystery there. Together we live in Southern California with our pup.
