For fans of A Good Girls Guide to Murder and The Secret History, this riveting murder mystery thriller from a brilliant new voice in YA fiction explores themes of privilege, prejudice and identity.


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 part of a kill-or-be-killed competition on an 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, full of narrative twists and turns, complex and appealing characters and a captivating, authentic setting – set against the backdrop of an important message about the true cost of privilege.

“A smart, captivating murder mystery, packed full of twists and turns, with a courageous and fiercely intelligent heroine." The Bookseller (Book of the Month)

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.
