Oxford Blood

Beschreibung

The first in a series of compelling and skillful dark academic thrillers from a brilliant new voice in YA fiction. Love, Lies, Legacy... Eva has one dream: to study English at Oxford University. Not only will she receive a world-class education - getting into Oxford is a path to freedom. But when Eva and her best friend George are invited to interview week, they find themselves in the cutthroat ultra-competitive world of elite academia, and at the center of gossip on anonymous student forum Oxford Slays. When Eva finds George dead near the steps of a statue in the college, she knows he's been murdered - but all eyes are now on her. Can she clear her name, catch the true killer and win her place at Beecham College? Eva has one week to prove her innocence, and Oxford Slays will be watching. Oxford Blood is a riveting murder mystery thriller, packed with narrative twists and turns, complex and appealing characters and a captivating, authentic setting in its searing examination of the true cost of privilege.
