Join Jo Murray in converstion with Francoise Harvey as they introduce Jo’s debut novel Dissection of a Murder and discuss Jo’s career as a criminal barrister.
A breathlessly compulsive courtroom drama with expertly-crafted twists that you won’t see coming, Dissection of a Murder is the razor-sharp debut novel from Teesside author Jo Murray. Dissection of a Murder is currently being adapted for the second season of Apple TV’s Presumed Innocent.
Jo Murray grew up in Teesside during the 1990s when working-class girls were told they probably shouldnt try to become barristers. Thankfully, she ignored everyone. After studying Classics at Newcastle University, she went to law school and was a criminal barrister before leaving the profession to look after her two children.
Franoise Harvey is an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in anthologies and magazines including Best British Short Stories, The Dark, Weird Horror and more.
