Lana Hutton Bowen-Judd (7 March 1922 – 6 November 1985) was a British mystery writer, better known under her pseudonym Sara Woods, but using also the pen names of Anne Burton, Mary Challis, and Margaret Leek.[1]
Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Woods was educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Filey, Yorkshire.
During World War II, Woods worked in a bank and as a solicitor's clerk in London, where she gained much of the information later used in her novels. As Eileen B Hutton she married Anthony George Bowen-Judd on 25 April 1946, and with him ran a pig breeding farm from 1948 to 1954. In 1957 they moved to Nova Scotia in Canada.[2] There she worked as registrar for St. Mary's University until 1964. In 1961 she wrote her first novel, Bloody Instructions, introducing the hero of forty-nine of her mysteries, Antony Maitland, an English barrister.[3]
