About this listen

Brideshead, bon-bons, cucumber sandwiches - and now a murder. In the decadent world of Oxford University, c.1985, Pimms, punting and ball gowns are de rigeur. Ursula Flowerbutton, a studious country girl, arrives for her first term, anticipating nothing more sinister than days spent poring over history books - and, perhaps, an invitation to a ball. But when she discovers a body, Ursula is catapulted into a murder investigation.

Determined to bag her first scoop for the famous student newspaper Cherwell, Ursula enlists the help of glamorous American student Nancy Feingold to unravel the case. While navigating a whirl of black-tie parties and secret dining societies, the girls discover a surfeit of suspects. From broken-hearted boyfriends to snobby Sloanes, lovelorn librarians to dishy dons, none can be presumed innocent. Clueless meets Agatha Christie in this wickedly funny tale of high society, low morals and a middle class girl, the first book in Plum Sykes' irresistible new series.

1985. Ursula Flowerbutton dreamt of becoming a talented journalist. After her admission at Christminster college, she was curiously amused and interested by the idea of Oxford parties. She took pleasure in the very different arrangements and circle of acquaintances. The most miscellaneous company composed her assemblies, which were amongst the most fashionable.

A few days later, Lady India Brattenbury was murdered in her campus. Her tiara with a fortune in pearls on her head, had gone missing.

As Ursula was the first to discover the body, the police considered her as the prime suspect. What a dreadful shock it was! Perfectly tragic! The other students were terrified out of their senses.

Ursula was anxious and puzzled. Since she was assigned to write for Cherwell (the Oxford student newspaper), Ursula patiently asked questions to everyone related to India Brattenbury and examined the nuances of their stories so as to solve the crime.

Plum Sykes is a wonderful, gifted and successful writer.
