Murder at St Margaret - (The Oxford Key Mysteries) by Lynn Morrison (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Welcome to Oxford, where knowledge and magic live eternally ever after

When Natalie Payne accepts the Head of Ceremonies role at the University of Oxford, her first assignment is planning the spectacular autumn gala at St Margaret College. However, her plans are dashed when she finds their famed chef dead in the kitchen.

If that discovery isn't enough, the cat following her around is actually a four-hundred-year-old wyvern. He's got news for her: Nat's a prefect, with the magic of Oxford running in her veins.

Nat's got to solve the murder, find a new chef for the gala and get to the bottom of why Oxford's magic is acting up. With the help of her wyvern, a band of Eternals and the savviest assistant who ever existed, Nat is sure to be a success.

But can she do it before St Margaret loses its connection to the magic of Oxford?

Review Quotes

This is the book we all need right now. It has mystery, magic, murder, a no-nonsense female protagonist who is smart and down to Earth, a 400-year-old wyvern who speaks cockney and suspense that won't let you put that book down. Oh and I forgot it all happens in Oxford and has some interesting Oxford fun facts scattered around the book. - Olga Mecking, author of Niksen
