On Tour 11/07/25-12/18/25 “The Murderer’s Girl” by K. L. Murphy

Release Date: August 26, 2025

About The Book:

Fifteen years ago, the double murder of two local women rocked a small Virginia town. Justice was served when Harry Lawson was arrested and found guilty in the brutal slaying of his wife and friend-or so the town believed.

When new evidence surfaces proving Harry’s innocence, the town and police are thrust into the national spotlight. After the initial medial flurry fades, only one true crime podcaster remains-Gordon Little, a man with a lot to prove and a dubious connection to Lynnleigh, Lisa and Harry’s only surviving child.

Inheriting the stone-cold case and determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Detective Callie Forde must investigate a town harboring long-buried secrets in a race to find the true killer before he strikes again.
