ⓘ About Margaret Doody

Margaret Doody is an English academic and author that writes historical crime fiction. She also teaches literature. Doody is best known for the Aristotle Series. Doody also added a second Arts Degree from Oxford (Lady Margaret Hall) and a doctorate to her resume. At first, Doody presumed that her education had prepared her to become a teacher. And she wasn’t completely wrong. Doody found that she loved to teach. But the author also discovered a love for research. Both passions drew Doody into the Academic field, which is where she stayed for the next several years, plying her trade at various universities and eventually settling down to write her novels.
