He made his fiction writing debut in 2018 with the publishing of “The Affair of the Christmas Card Killer.”

“The Affair of the Christmas Card Killer” by Jack Murray is a novel that has been compared to Downton Abbey. The work is set in 1919 where Lord Arthur Cavendish just got a holiday card with the cryptic words “Happy Christmas, I’ve killed you.”
A few days later, the man is found murdered. Kit Aston is an amateur sleuth, Secret Intelligence Service spy, and World War I hero who investigates the case.

As Cavendish Hall is inundated with snow, tensions are rising as the cut-off party guests suddenly realize they could be harboring a killer.

Present and past collide for the amateur detective as he goes full out trying to get to the truth in what is a classic closed-room murder mystery.

The first Kit Aston Mystery is a work buzzing with laugh-out-loud one-liners and romance as it showcases the sadness of a nation trying to heal from the ravages of the First World War.
Full of historical characters, twists, and humor, what is not to love in this introductory work?

Jack Murray’s “The Chess Board Murders” is a work set in 1920 where the murders of a bishop, a knight, and a trade unionist leave Britain in shock. According to the information coming out much of the blame is put on Russia.
With the body count on the rise, Kit Aston finds himself playing a dangerous game of chess with a Russian grandmaster where she could die if she gets checkmated.

It is another gripping historical crime thriller that comes with all manner of classic one-liners and twists.

Murray really gets into his stride with this novel as there are British spies, Russian spies, murders, and all manner of things happening, even though there is no confusion that is ever present in similar novels.
At the center of the plot is a politically important chess match that shows just how exciting the game can get, particularly with a dash of murder.

“The Phantom” by Jack Murray is a work set in 1920 at a time when the Phantom has made a comeback. It is also at this time that there have been reported a series of daring robberies in the West End of London.
The thief who always leaves behind a calling card has stolen several thousand pounds worth of diamonds. Amateur detective Kit Aston looks into the case working with his aunt.
But what has initially seemed like a straightforward case takes a different turn as the Elephant Boys who are from the notorious London gangland get involved.

Will Kit and Mary his fiance, Aunt Agatha, and Alfred a film-making chauffeur make headway in a case that has baffled even the best at Scotland Yard.

It makes for a fast-paced whodunnit full of humor and sparkling with romance as it combines crime thrills with real-life historical characters.

   Why was the trilogy of el- Alamein have such an incomplete ending. Totally ruined the trilogy in my opinion. Screaming out for further chapters on Manfred and Danny Shaw.
