A Study in Murder

Don’t miss the latest instalment of the cosy crime thriller series, Val & Arbie Mysteries, from best-selling author Faith Martin. Pre-order now! Oxford University, 1927. Arbuthnot ‘Arbie’ Swift thought he was returning to St Dustan's College for High Table gossip, sherry-soaked reunions, and perhaps a ghost story to inspire his latest book.

Instead, he wakes to the news that the wife of one of the Oxford scholars has been found dead, apparently by her own hand. But Arbie suspects there is more hidden behind the whispers and stiffly offered condolences than meets the eye.

With a scandal-conscious Principal, an officious inspector, and his quick-witted friend Val, he must navigate academic rivalries and long-buried secrets – before another death turns Oxford’s dreaming spires into a crime scene.
