L.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - The first thing K.L. Murphy wrote was a modified screenplay of a 1970s TV show. She and her siblings performed that show for their own built-in audience (mom and dad) to rave reviews (again, mom and dad!). Later, she moved on to high school journalism before graduating from college and taking a detour into finance and banking. Once she began writing again and focusing on fiction, the process felt like coming home. K.L. Murphy is the author of Last Girl Missing (Book 1 in the Detective Callie Forde series) and the forthcoming The Great Forgotten (November 2025) as well as the award-nominated Her Sister's Death, a January 2023 Once Upon a Book Club Pick. Of Her Sister's Death, Publishers Weekly said, \"Murphy keeps the tension high...\" and \"readers will eagerly turn the pages\" and Library Journal called the book \"[A] riveting tale...\" In addition, she is the author of the Detective Cancini Mystery Series featuring A Guilty Mind, Stay of Execution, and The Last Sin. Her short stories have appeared in several anthologies and she co-edited Crime in the Old Dominion. K.L. makes her home in Richmond, VA, where she loves spending time with her family, friends, and two amazing dogs.","brand":"Level Best Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51603256508690,"sku":"9798898200138","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d0ac56f1-c856-4cd0-86dc-bbfe941a8e65.jpg?v=1757431982","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-murderers-girl-a-detective-callie-forde-mystery-9798898200138","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
