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 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!”
