Description
A quest for a valuable manuscript turns into a hunt for its author's killer. Meet Oxford's Eve Brook, literary detective, as she tackles her first mystery.
David Morrow, Oxford don and controversial media pundit, is found dead in his college rooms. Eve Brook is recruited to complete his latest book, a dazzling takedown of "woke" history. But the manuscript is missing, and everyone Eve meets seems to have something to hide-and a reason to want Morrow dead.
Set against the backdrop of Oxford's colleges, long train rides, quaint villages, and a tantalising cast of suspects, Death of an Englishman is-at first glance-a traditional murder mystery. But this is cosy crime with a very contemporary edge...
