Oxford, 1960. The sun is shining, the city is in celebration - until a university student is found dead, floating in the river.

Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday finds herself paired with Coroner Clement Ryder to investigate, but it soon becomes clear that this is not going to be a straightforward case.

Witnesses are evasive, leads twist in every direction, and whispers of other missing students deepen the mystery. As Loveday and Ryder dig beneath the university's polished surface, one thing becomes clear: there's something not quite right about the university's most popular student...

A gripping, twisty cosy crime novel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.
