Party Girls Die in Pearls

Ursula Flowerbutton, a studious country girl, arrives for her first term anticipating nothing more sinister than days spent poring over history books - and, perhaps, an invitation to a ball. But when she discovers a ghastly crime, she is catapulted into a murder investigation. Determined to unravel the case, and bag her first scoop for the famous student newspaper Cherwell, Ursula enlists the help of her fellow Fresher, the glamorous American Nancy Feingold.
