| book description |

The next gripping, must-read, YA crime mystery for readers of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus, and fans of The Secret History and Ace of Spades. Eva has set her sights on studying English at Oxford University. Atmospheric old libraries; secret societies; eccentric professors – it’s the stuff of her dreams. When she and her best friend (who she’s also secretly in love with), George, are invited to Interview Week, it seems like those dreams are coming true. But only a day in, George is found dead on the steps of a university statue. And it is Eva who finds him. All eyes are now on her as she races to clear her name, uncover the truth – and take back her future. Oxford Blood is already captivating readers on Netgalley: “Haunting, timely, and razor-edged – a dark academia gem wrapped in velvet and laced with menace. A stellar debut, and the start of a series I’ll be following closely.” “Gripping, clever, and painfully relatable. A YA murder mystery for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider in a world that wasn’t built for them.” “A captivating YA thriller set in Oxford that delves into racism, corruption, and dark academia. It is perfect for fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.” And the book trade: “A smart, captivating murder mystery, packed full of twists and turns, with a courageous and fiercely intelligent heroine.""
