Party Girls Die in
Pearls
An Oxford Girl Mystery
Plum Sykes
When
Ursula Flowerbottom arrives at Oxford University, she is ready for a
productive academic year, full of lectures and sleepless nights spent
studying in the library. Her new American friend, Nancy, on the
contrary, is much more interested in Oxford's party scene and
snagging a well-connected aristocrat. Before either can settle into
their new lives at Christminster College, an aristocratic “it”
girl, India Brattenbury is murdered.
In
order to pursue her dream of writing for the prestigious college
newspaper, Ursula sets out to discover who killed India. Nancy is all
too ready to help find out more about India if it means she can
attend the numerous posh balls at the college and at the same time
hunt for a new beau.
This
fabulous mystery kept me entertained from beginning to end. Ms. Sykes
really knows how to keep the reader invested in the story with
brilliant descriptions and fun characters. I was so glued to the
page, I almost hated to make it to the end. Not only was the 1980's
setting a hoot, but it brought back long forgotten memories. I'm so
glad I got to read this one.
