Description
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 pass 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 on 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.
Ace of Spades meets The Secret History in this 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.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc of this book.
As soon as i received the arc, I had to stop everything and read this. Just based on the summary, I had a feeling I would enjoy. And I was right. This was so good. The past is incredibly fast as the story is taking place over less than a week. Eva is such a nice character. She’s smart, determined and focused on her goal. This is a murder mystery set during the interview week at Oxford. Eva and George are trying to get in Beecham college to study English and classics. Suddenly, George gets killed and Eva is trying to find the killer. Honestly, I had no idea who the killer was until the reveal. The investigation was really well done and engaging. It kept me on my toes all throughout the book.
If you loved a good girl’s guide to murder, I think you will love this book.
