Judy L Murray is a winner of the Silver Falchion Award and the IPPY Awards gold and silver medals. She is an Agatha Award nominee, and the recipient of three PenCraft International first place awards. Her Chesapeake Bay Mystery Series debuted in 2021 with Murder in the Master, followed by Killer in the Kitchen, Peril in the Pool House, and Villain in the Vineyard.

A former Philadelphia real estate broker and restoration addict, Judy has worked with enough delusional sellers, jittery buyers, testy contractors, and diva agents to fill her head with back-office insight and truth versus gossip. She began her professional writing career, after graduating in newspaper journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School at Syracuse University, as a reporter and magazine columnist, and holds an MBA from Penn State University. She lives atop a cliff on the Chesapeake Bay with her husband John. They’re buffeted by winds in winter and invaded by family and dogs in summer. Her books are published by Level Best Books and Blackstone Audio Publishing.  

She is a member of Mystery Writers of America and is the Board Liaison for Sisters In Crime International. She is member of the Writer Who Kills blog.
