She received her secondary education in schools with in-depth study of the English language. In addition, she attended one of the Leningrad music schools.

After graduating from Moscow State University in 1979, Marina, as a certified lawyer, was assigned to the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. She began her police career with laboratory work. A year later she becomes a police lieutenant and begins to engage in scientific activities. Her research interests included studying the personality of criminals with mental disorders. In 1986, Marina became a candidate of legal sciences.

In the eighties, Alekseeva was intensively engaged in scientific work related to the analysis of crime and its forecasts. She has written more than three dozen scientific papers, including a monograph on crime prevention, written in a foreign language. In 1994-1998, Marina Anatolyevna worked at the Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow, holding a high position in the department of scientific and editorial work. Then Alekseeva resigned with the rank of police lieutenant colonel. The outstanding novelist's hobbies include classical music, playing the piano and collecting bells.

Marina began her writing career in 1991. In a creative duet with his colleague Alexander, they created the exciting detective story “Six-Winged Seraphim”. Under their work, internal affairs officers signed “Alexandra Marinin” - a pseudonym consisting of the names of both authors. Alekseeva's first book was published at the end of 1992.

After a successful debut, the aspiring novelist decided to engage in independent creativity. Her next work was the novel “Coincidence of Circumstances,” which marked the beginning of a popular series about police colonel Anastasia Kamenskaya. Over the next two years, the second and third books of this series, “Game on a Foreign Field” and “Stolen Dream,” were created and published.

In 1995, Marinina entered into an agreement with the largest publishing house in Russia, Eksmo. One after another, her works “The Reluctant Killer”, “Death for the Sake of Death”, “Sixes Die First”, “Death and a Little Love” and others come out of print. Each new work of the talented writer instantly became popular thanks to a well-twisted detective intrigue and realistic pictures from the life of employees of internal organs. In 1995, Marinina received her first literary award from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the best work of fiction about the everyday life of internal affairs officers (her novels “Death for the Sake of Death” and “Game on a Foreign Field” were highlighted). She was awarded the next prize three years later - at a major book exhibition she became writer of the year as the best-selling author. In the same 1998, Alexandra was noted as the most successful writer according to the Moscow publication Ogonyok.

The last novel in the series, “Execution without Malice,” was published in 2015. According to reader ratings, the works written within this cycle are considered Marinina’s best books. A feature of the works of the modern novelist is psychologism in the relationship between the criminal and the detective. Marinina's detective stories are not logical puzzles or intricate charades that need to be solved.

According to the writer, it is important for her to show the motives of the crimes and the emotional state of the villains. Detective stories about Kamenskaya are imbued with home comfort - they contain many elements of everyday life and other life moments. The slight absent-mindedness and extravagance of the main character, coupled with brilliant analytical thinking, give her image brightness and charisma.
