Andrew Hunter Murray is a British author who splits his time between speculative fiction thrillers and humor writing connected to the BBC show QI. His debut novel The Last Day (2020) imagines a world where the Earth has stopped rotating, leaving half the planet in permanent sunlight and half in darkness. The Sanctuary (2022) continued in the speculative thriller vein with a story about a utopian community hiding dark secrets.
Murray is also a co-host of the No Such Thing As a Fish podcast, a popular fact-based show spun off from QI. The podcast’s Book of the Year annual compilations from 2017 to 2019 collect the most interesting facts covered on the show. His more recent fiction includes A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering (2024) and its sequel Bad Deeds (2026), which take a lighter, more comedic approach to crime fiction.
