Andy Murray’s mum Judy opens up on career change as she admits ‘we’ve all got a murder in us’
TENNIS mum Judy Murray is writing a ‘whodunnit’ – and says ‘we’ve all got a murder in us’.
Judy, 65, is set to appear at St. Andrew’s Book Festival in London after publishing her bestselling debut fiction novel The Wild Card earlier this year.
The former national tennis champ will be talking about the book that took her into the bestsellers lists for the second time.
She has also revealed plan for her next fiction book – a “whodunnit” style murder mystery.
“I have just about finished a whodunnit. It’s out in May,” Judy told The Scotsman.
“It’s still set in the tennis world, at a nice sort of country club and there’s a murder at the start and it could be any one of the ladies first team that has committed the crime.
“The way I’ve written it is a bit like Big Little Lies where it could be any of several people.
“It’s at the editing stage.
“I love a whodunnit. I reckon we’ve all got a murder in us if the circumstances are right. I’m going to work on some pages on the train.”
Judy released her first book, a memoir, in 2017, but The Wild Card is her first move into fiction.
Set in the tennis world, the book follows the story of tennis player Abigail Patterson, who is forced to give up the sport aged 17, but becomes a Wimbledon sensation 20 years later – echoing parts of Judy’s own life.
“It’s two halves of her life, the first 17 years where she overcomes really quite horrific adversity, finds solace in tennis and unexpectedly becomes one of the most promising juniors in Britain but is forced to give up at the age of 17.
“Then 20 years later, she’s on her way to Wimbledon to play on the Centre Court, fulfilling the childhood dream against all the odds.
“The book kicks off when the sensation of the tournament is in the courtesy car and hears radio presenters asking listeners to fill them in on what’s happened to her in the last 20 years because she disappeared off the face of the earth and she realises that a secret she has been keeping for 20 years is about to be exposed in public.
“She’s not based on me.
“There are lots of things that I’ve seen and heard and experienced in there but the only bit people would recognise of me is when Abi changes her coach to a woman who takes the time to get to know her and understands the world according to girls, and she has a much better experience – a mother of two young boys with a softly spoken Scottish accent.
“I think the fact that Abi had to give up was something I could identify with because when I was 17, I’d finished my Highers and had a deal with my dad that if I got a place at Edinburgh University I could take a year to travel and play tennis tournaments.
“I went off to Europe and in those days there were no mobile phones, ATM machines, internet, hardly any flights, you were completely disconnected, and I went by myself.
“I didn’t last very long. I got robbed in Barcelona, my wallet, passport, all my money. I was very much on my own and didn’t speak the language.
“When I called my dad on a reverse charge call from Barcelona he said ‘it’s too dangerous you need to come home‘ and kind of made the decision for me and I think I was glad he did, because I’m not one for giving up on anything.”
“I always wished that things had been different, that I’d come from a country where your federation would accompany you on trips with a coach, and there would be more opportunity, so when I became the national coach I set about creating an infrastructure that allowed Scottish kids to have those chances.
“I never got the opportunity to play, but got the opportunity to have a huge experience of all of these major grand slam tournaments.
“I became the captain of the Great Britain women‘s team so I did all of the things as a coach that I would have loved to have done as a player.
“For me there was a second chance too.”
The best-selling book was Judy’s second – after penning her memoir in 2017, inspired by her Strictly Come Dancing partner Anton du Beke.
She also added that her sons, Jamie and Andy are “incredibly supportive” of her new and novel career.
“I did a memoir which was in lots of ways easier because it’s your life and you go through it chronologically,” she said.
“This is the first time I’ve done a work of fiction and it’s great fun because your imagination can go anywhere.
“It was entirely down to [Anton]” she said.
“He’s written about seven novels now, all set in the ballroom dancing world.
“I loved all the behind the scenes detail, how it operated and he said you should write one set in the tennis world, all the things you have experienced that people would love to hear about.
“He set me up with his literary agent on Zoom and that was where it started.
“They say you should write about what you know.”
“They [Jamie and Andy] sort of roll their eyes whenever I do something a little bit different, but they’re always incredibly supportive.
“They’re constantly raising their eyebrows at me, ‘what are you doing now?’
“The first time I really experienced that was when I said ‘I’ve been asked to do Strictly’ and I took the easy option first and asked Jamie and he said ‘oh mum you love Strictly, are you going to do it? That would be good fun’.
“Then I asked Andy and he stared at me for about 15 seconds without saying anything and then he went ‘Oh my god. You’ll be crap’.”
“And they were both right because I was crap and I did absolutely love it.
“Strictly was the first thing I’d done for myself in years.
“My life had been saturated with tennis. So when I said I was writing a book I got the usual roll of the eyebrows and ‘what next!’ from both of them.”
“I think they’re protective, or worried in case anything goes wrong. But actually The Wild Card has been very well received.”

This Morning’s Alison Hammond lands new travel show on rival channel with son Aidan
THIS Morning host Alison Hammond has bagged herself a brand new TV gig alongside her son on a rival channel.
The popular presenter will be exploring the sunshine state of Florida with her son Aidan, aged 19.
Titled Florida Unpacked, the new ten-part series for BBC Two, will follow Alison and Aidan as they make their way around all the very best that Florida has to offer on an affordable budget.
With the cost to visit Florida rising year-on-year, Alison and Aidan will be heading off the beaten track in order to find some hidden gem activities during their epic adventure.
They will dish out their money-saving tips and advise on how best to get the best bang for your buck whilst in the sun-soaked US state.
Speaking about the programme, Alison said: “Travel is in my blood. For years I worked as a tour rep following in the footsteps of my dear mum.
“This meant I was lucky and got to visit Florida from a young age.
“I was so captivated by America’s culture, food, TV shows, and films and some of my happiest memories are tied to those first formative trips to the U.S.
“We managed to budget our way to a place that totally captured our hearts… and now I can’t wait to share Florida’s best kept secrets with you all.”
The series will consist of 10 30-minute episodes with the first set to kick off on 27 January 2025.
It will also be the first full-length project for Alison with her son Aidan on-screen.
Whilst the mother-son duo have been seen on TV shows together in the past, Aidan will provide his mum with a helping hand when it comes to the fair share of presenting duties.
A synopsis to tease the series reads: “Audiences will learn how to save on dining by avoiding tourist traps and discovering local, affordable restaurants.
“Accommodation will also feature, with comparisons from luxury stays, to camping in Florida’s stunning natural settings, the series will provide inspiration for travellers of all budgets.”
It marks a move to the BBC for Alison with the star being more closely associated with ITV.
She previously appeared on the BBC Saturday night show I Can See Your Voice before it was axed after two series.
Florida Unpacked begins airing on 27 January 2025 on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
