Oxford Blood by Antonia Fraser
In this tale Jemima is reluctantly shooting a TV expos -- Golden Lads and Girls -- on the exotic lifestyles of overprivileged undergraduates. Among them is Lord Saffron, the wealthy, twenty-year-old heir to the former foreign secretary. When a confession by a dying midwife throws Saffron's birth and bloodline into doubt, Jemima's interest in the documentary perks up considerably. Then a student is murdered, drawing Jemima into a case that will demand the utmost of her skills of detection.Love and Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette (which was adapted into a film by Sofia Coppola), The Wives of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scots, Faith and Treason: The Tale of the Gunpowder Plot, and Perilous Question: Reform or Revolution? are among Antonia Fraser's numerous worldwide bestselling historical writings.
