Summary
Lust. Ambition. Murder.
When a beautiful, wealthy student is found dead in her room in Oxford's most prestigious college, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart is called to investigate. The murdered girl appeared to have no enemies, yet was killed in a brutal and bloody assault.
Haunted and driven by her own personal tragedy, newly promoted DI Bridget Hart has a lot to prove as she leads her first murder case. Her investigation uncovers a tangled web of lies, lust and ambition, and brings her into conflict with powerful interests.
But no one can be above suspicion within the closed and claustrophobic confines of an Oxford college, where students and academics live and work side by side, and a ruthless killer waits to strike again.

Good strong story line
I was disappointed with the way senior police officers were portrayed in this and other books by this author. Senior officers do not talk to other ranks in such a demeaning way or call them by rank they use Christian names. As an ex officer I am in a position to point this out . Otherwise a really good read and the narrator is excellent.

Not too exciting but a solid murder mystery
It kept me listening and engaged throughout but not a real barn burner. It could be the narration...nothing one could complain about but kind of like plain yogurt. I think a good listen coming from the bonus category. Going to give book 2 a go.

Straightforward crime
Classic crime, got what I came for. Although..why oh WHY does ALL female detectives have to be so bloody aware of their weight?? Even female writers do this, and I find it so belittling and unneccessary. Narrater ok.

Nice!
New author for me. Thoroughly enjoyed the plot and production. Some repetition of scenarios was unnecessary - it’s not as if you would start listening halfway through and needed a summary. But will definitely listen to some more by the author.

Exciting
I like this new DI but I still think the author can give more life to the character. I’ll probably read the next one just to see if it gets more interesting
