Susan M. Borris’s thriller, Murph’s Law, is now available, offering readers an engaging mix of mystery, romance, and a deep look into personal resilience. This compelling novel follows Holly Wells, a children’s book author recovering from a severe car accident, whose life takes a dramatic turn after she discovers the body of a jogger in a local park.
The story unfolds as Holly, now accompanied by Murphy, the jogger’s golden retriever who has become her companion, finds herself involved in a complex web of deceit and danger. Just minutes after a routine encounter, Holly’s world is upended by the murder, drawing her into a mystery that challenges her recovery and safety.
As Holly works on her recovery, she meets four very different men who change her life in unexpected ways—one who might want her dead, a charming detective working on the case, a mysterious socialite offering more than just friendship, and Murphy, who needs nothing but love and care.
Muph’s Law weaves these relationships against the backdrop of suspense and danger, making each page a testament to Borris’s skill in blending emotional depth with thrilling plot twists. The novel not only explores themes of identity and trust but also delves into what it means to rebuild one’s life in the shadow of trauma and mystery.
With each chapter, readers are drawn deeper into the intrigue of Holly’s investigation, which reveals that everyone has secrets and that the truth is often more complicated than it appears. Borris’s writing captures the essence of each character, making their experiences resonate with readers who appreciate thoughtful storytelling.
