Welcome!
If you’re here, you must be mystery fan, which means you have something in common with several U.S. presidents and, of course, me. Problem-solvers at heart, we can’t resist the challenge of a tricky plot.
“Escapism for the control freak,” (Craig Fehrman*) is another way of describing my favorite genre—female detectives and amateur sleuths—and me again, I’m afraid. Real life seldom turns out how I think it should, so I've resorted to writing mysteries that do.
The first 2 Lauren Beck crime novels won Hon. Mention in genre fiction from Writer's Digest. FOR BETTER OR WORSE and STRANGER DANGER became Finalists in the National Indie Excellence Awards for Mysteries.
STRANGER DANGER, also achieved Silver Medalist in the Global Book Awards.
You'll find that both of my series' characters take crime very seriously - but never themselves.

"Proof Positive is one of the most satisfying murder mysteries I have read. I instantly loved Donna Huston Murray’s writing style, which reminded me of my favorite author, P.D. James. ... But what made this story stand out for me was the crime-solving method. It is a perfect read on all counts, and I highly recommend this marvelous story to whodunit fans."
"…a twisty crime thriller that'll have you ripping through the pages and cheering on its loveable heroine as she searches for the final clue to a decades-old crime."

Multi-million copy International Bestselling author LISA REGAN on PROOF POSITIVE
PROOF POSITIVE is filled with enough twists and turns to give you whiplash. Lauren's grit, determination, and empathy make her achingly human, and the cast of characters she meets in Worthy, Ohio, as she searches for a killer are just as authentic and intriguing. The plot is fresh, gripping, and expertly crafted to keep your heart pounding as you race through the pages. Don't sleep on Lauren Beck. You'll regret it! PROOF POSITIVE, is [Murray’s] best one yet!”
