Party Girls Die in Pearls -- Plum Sykes

<p><strong>"A rollicking murder mystery. . . . a wildly entertaining romp. . . . Laugh? I <em>died.</em>"--<em>Vogue</em></strong></p><p><strong>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Bergdorf Blondes</em> takes us back to the decadent 1980s in this comic murder mystery set in the tony world of Oxford University.</strong></p><p>It's 1985, and at Oxford University, Pimm's, punting, and ball gowns are de rigeur. Ursula Flowerbutton, a studious country girl, arrives for her first term anticipating nothing more sinister than days spent poring over history books in gilded libraries--and, if she's lucky, an invitation to a ball.</p><p>But when she discovers a glamorous classmate on a chaise longue with her throat cut, Ursula is catapulted into a murder investigation.</p><p>Determined to bag her first scoop for the famous student newspaper <em>Cherwell</em>, Ursula enlists the help of trend-setting American exchange student Nancy Feingold to unravel the case. While navigating a whirl of black-tie parties and secret dining societies, the girls discover a surfeit of suspects. From broken-hearted boyfriends to snobby Sloane Rangers, lovelorn librarians to dishy dons, none can be presumed innocent--and Ursula's investigations mean that she may be next on the murderer's list.</p><p><em>Clueless</em> meets Agatha Christie in this wickedly funny tale of high society and low morals, the first book in Plum Sykes' irresistible new series.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Plum Sykes<b
