Description
Brideshead, bon-bons, cucumber sandwiches – and now a murder
Pimm's, punting and ball gowns are de rigeur. Ursula Flowerbutton, a studious country girl, arrives for her first term anticipating nothing more sinister than days spent poring over history books – and, perhaps, an invitation to a ball. But when she discovers a ghastly crime, she is catapulted into a murder investigation.
Determined to unravel the case – and bag her first scoop for the famous student newspaper Cherwell – Ursula enlists the help of her fellow Fresher, the glamorous American Nancy Feingold. While navigating a whirl of black-tie parties and secret dining societies, the girls discover a surfeit of suspects. From broken-hearted boyfriends to snobby Sloanes, lovelorn librarians to dishy dons, none can be presumed innocent.
Clueless meets Agatha Christie in this wickedly funny tale of high society, low morals and a middle-class girl, the first book in Plum Sykes's irresistible new series.

Candace Bushnell
-
Plum Sykes channels Nancy Mitford and Holly Golightly with great charm and sweetness
Jane Green, author of Mr. Maybe and Jemima J.
-
Sykes has a distinctive, wily and well-deployed comic voice … Into the blender go Bridget Jones, Anita Loos, Sex and the City and Clueless; out comes a diabolically amusing concoction
Janet Maslin, New York Times
-
Perfectly pitched – playful, funny, satirical and sweet. I laughed out loud many times
Anna Wintour, Vogue
-
Sparkling, bliss, glitteringly honest … I haven't had so much fun since rereading the Mitford novels

Highly entertaining and intelligent … whips along at an exhilarating speed
