Except The Dying is the first detective novel by Canadian writer Maureen Jennings featuring the detective William Murdoch in the series The Murdoch Mysteries. It was first published in Canada by Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press, in 1997. In the first chapter, William Murdoch is introduced, as a man of strong principles, who uses his unique abilities to solve crimes, sometimes using advanced science for his time. On the street of Toronto, in 1895, the body of a prostitute is found, murdered in a back alley. Inspector Brackenreid decides that this is an accidental death, but Murdoch feels there's more to the situation at hand.
