A pretty French student is found dead in her room at an exclusive Oxford college. Everyone thinks it is another tragic case of accidental drug overdose. But Detective Hillary Greene has a nose for the truth. She quickly discovers that the student was involved in some very unusual activities.

With a shocking cause of death found, the case becomes a high-profile murder investigation. Adding to the pressure, Hillary’s nemesis is transferred to work with her at the station. Can Hillary keep her cool and get justice for the unfortunate student?

This is a crime mystery full of well-observed characters, which will have you gripped from start to finish. Murder at the University is the second in a series of crime thrillers set in Oxfordshire.

As with other books in this series I much enjoyed the story, but was aware constantly of the poor reading. Narrator is very one note, with irritating mispronunciation of simple words and terms, from time to time.

Good stories poorly read.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Interesting story with much better structure than the first book in the series (some of that may be because the main characters have already been established).

However, as with the first book, the narration is terrible. Poor pronunciation (although I was glad to hear SOCO being pronounced as a word rather than as initials this time around!), poor pacing and timing, making it difficult to distinguish between whose head we were in and who was saying what.

Interesting story let down by poor narration ( again!)

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Good story without gratuitous violence whilst still dealing with difficult issues.
A number of interesting characters and background “romances “
A good read and I am now enjoying the series and will continue to follow Hilary’s career and personal life !

Likeable and believable protagonists

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I am loving this series and will be looking forward to more nice to have a female detective

good read

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Ignore pedantic critics. Who cares if SOCO is pronounced soc-oh or soak-oh? Scone or scone? I really enjoyed the story and narration thank you

Narration perfect
