Oxford Blood

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.
