ⓘ About Mavis Doriel Hay
All three of her detective novels were well received upon publication. Dorothy Sayers praised “Murder Underground” in a review for the Sunday Times. She went to St. Hilda’s, Oxford from 1913 to 1916, right about the same period as Dorothy L Sayers went to Somerville. Besides her three detective novels, she was also an expert on rural handicraft and quilting, and wrote many books on both of these subjects, which includes “Rural Industries of England and Wales” with co-author Helen Elizabeth Fitzrandolph. This book was part of a series of works that Helen and Mavis collaborated on, which were sponsored by the Agricultural Economics Research Institute of Oxford University, which had them surveying all the rural industries in Wales and England. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Mavis Doriel Hay has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
