# Miss Murrow — Murder by the Clock character guide

> Miss Murrow in Murder by the Clock by Rufus King.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Nurse Murrow

**First appearance:** 0000-i-8-37-p-m-spring-3100

## Snapshot

A night nurse with literary ambitions and a speculative eye on her patient's visitor, whose glittering hands she cannot stop watching.

## Who they are

Miss Murrow sits the graveyard shift over the revived Endicott, mentally drafting novels and rehearsing the married name 'Mrs. Sanford Worth' while her attention drifts to Mr. Hollander in the chair. She fancies herself a student of life and words — 'glitter,' 'tripe,' ten French phrases — but her real gift is noticing: Hollander's hand slipping from the chair arm, vanishing into his lap, moving almost sneaky. Her idle vigilance makes her the quiet witness whose observations could place a man's hands exactly where they should not have been.
