What to expect

You'd kill to be one of them.
They'd kill to get out . . .

The Shepherd Scholarship is the most coveted honour Oxford University has to offer, reserved for the extraordinary and exceptional. With all eyes on them, the five new scholars, Mabel, Azelle, Finn, Hadley and Hugo become unlikely allies as they try to prove themselves worthy.

Until one of them turns up dead.

When a secret book proposal is leaked in the aftermath of the tragedy, it threatens the true identities of the four remaining scholars. Soon everything they have worked so hard to conceal starts to unravel. Because there is a murderer amongst them, and they would kill to keep their secret safe.

How far would you go to protect the life you fought for?

Critics Review

I devoured The Scholars in two sittings... It's brilliantly written, with characters that you can literally see in front of you. The mystery keeps you guessing and turning those pages, and the reveal is a shocker. Wonderful
T.M. Payne
A twisty tale that takes us into the rarefied, ruthless world of an Oxford college
