Dwyer Murphy made his fiction debut with An Honest Living in 2022, a novel about a lawyer turned fixer operating in the literary world of Brooklyn. His prose is spare and controlled, drawing comparisons to classic crime writers who valued atmosphere over action. The Stolen Coast (2023) moved the setting to Cape Cod, where a town’s criminal past bleeds into its present.

Murphy’s third novel, The House on Buzzards Bay (2025), continues his exploration of the Northeast coastline and the secrets people keep in small communities. Before turning to fiction, Murphy was a lawyer and editor, and that background gives his writing a sharp eye for the gaps between what people say and what they actually do.
