Jo Murray grew up in Teesside during the 90s when working class girls were told they probably shouldn’t try to become barristers.
Thankfully, she ignored everyone. After studying Classics at Newcastle University, she went to law school and did just that.
Jo was a criminal barrister before leaving the profession to look after her two children. She lives in North Yorkshire.

Welcome to the Family (2026)
Kate Gray
"A red hot thriller which simply demands to be read by a pool... I didn't know who to believe; lies, betrayal and buried secrets ensured I read WELCOME TO THE FAMILY in one weekend."

My Husband's Wife (2025)
Alice Feeney
"Alice Feeney always hits the mark. Sensational. My mind is still spinning. This is going to be huge."
