About the Author:

Margaret Doody is the John and Barbara Glynn Family Professor of Literature at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to her Aristotle mysteries, she has published books on eighteenth-century literature, the Renaissance, ancient and modern fiction, and the significance of Venice.

Review:

“A welcome edition to the historical ‘whodunit’ genre.” (POA Journal, Official Publication of the San Francisco Police Officers Association)

"Margaret Doody has given us a remarkable page-turner of a mystery with a couple of fascinating characters in Aristotle and Stephanos. It’s worth adding to your to-be-read pile.” (Les Blatt ClassicMysteries.net)

“Wit in a first novel is rare enough, and when allied to the skilful unraveling of a murder story set in ancient Athens it makes us doubly grateful for Aristotle Detective.” (Daily Telegraph)

“Doody brings the Athens of 322 BC to life with skill and verve and her story of the bloody murder, the shards of evidence, the drama of the trials, the odd twists and turns of motives and events is wonderfully plotted as she keeps everyone guessing, except the wily old philosopher who never tips his hand.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Witty, elegant whodunits.” (Roderick Beaton Times Literary Supplement)

“Eminently enjoyable.” (Colin Dexter author of the Inspector Morse mysteries)

“Why did no one think of this before?” (Times (UK))
