About the Book: Seventeen‑year‑old Eva Dawkins has one dream: to study English at University of Oxford, a path she believes will lead to freedom. But when she and her best friend George are invited to the prestigious “Interview Week” at Beecham College, they enter a cut‑throat world of privilege, politics and secrets. The morning after the interviews begin, Eva finds George dead at the foot of a college statue. What was meant to be the fulfilment of her dreams turns into a nightmare: she knows he was murdered, but all eyes are now on her as the prime suspect. With time running out and a secretive forum called “Oxford Slays” amplifying every whisper, Eva must clear her name, uncover the truth behind George’s death—and fight for her place in a ruthless academic system.
