About The Oxford Guide to Scandal & Lies:
Oxford, England, 1951. The Honorable Ginevra Bishop likes red lipstick, clever retorts, and earning top marks in her tutorials. Sidney Braithwaite likes brooding, Latin, and ignoring his nightmares.
Though Gin and Sidney have little in common, the British Security Service is keen to unite her charm with his espionage experience: there’s a Soviet spy at the university, and the agent tracking them down was poisoned. MI5 wants Gin and Sidney to pick up the trail and identify the informant before more sensitive information is compromised. As a team, the pair clash in personality, upbringing, and taste—but have a connection neither can deny.

Kate Westbury grew up a voracious reader of detective fiction, and unraveling plot twists became her favorite pastime. She now puts her whodunnit obsession to good use writing historical mysteries. Beyond the page, Kate teaches Latin and dreams of moving to an English village with crimes to solve.
