About this listen

The New York Times best-selling author of Bergdorf Blondes takes us back to the decadent 1980s in this comic murder mystery set in the tony world of Oxford University.

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.

But when she discovers a glamorous classmate on a chaise longue with her throat cut, Ursula is catapulted into a murder investigation.

Determined to bag her first scoop for the famous student newspaper Cherwell, Ursula enlists the help of trendsetting 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 brokenhearted 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.

Clueless meets Agatha Christie in this wickedly funny tale of high society and low morals, the first book in Plum Sykes' irresistible new series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Ursula’s adventures during her first week at Oxford were in turns humorous, horrifying, and suspenseful. Her new American friend, Nancy, provided the perfect foil. Solving the murder of India, the beautiful queen of the champagne set, while navigating a first year at college makes for a well written mystery. Now I’ve got to find other works by the same author and narrator!

Well written, well performed

Even better the second time. So clever! Quite entertaining. Would love to see this as a movie. The fashion would be amazing 😉

Loved it when it first came out

This books was fun and silly in the best possible way. Such a great reprieve from all of the Gone Girl-adjacent stories with unreliable narrators that have taken hold of this genre.

Great fun

it was an interesting book I definitely would recommend any Plum Sykes novels however listening to it by this voice made it even more real I felt like I was part of it I definitely enjoyed and will continue to enjoy my subscription hopefully I will stumble across the same narrator.

wonderful read

This is by no means a serious mystery piece. But it’s just complicated enough to keep you guessing about all the details until the end. The funny characters and lovely little “side bars” about fashion and general 80s trivia is brilliantly done. Perfect book for a vacation read…or if your like me a Mom who needs a break from her world during nap time lol! Hope there are more to come from this author in a serious about these characters.

So fun

I love the tone taken by both the author and the reader of Party Girls Die in Pearls.

Jolly good read!
