Murder, magic, and desire return to haunt Ruby Vaughn in Oxford’s mist-filled streets.
After the horrors of the Great War, American heiress Ruby Vaughn wants nothing more than peace. Managing a rare bookshop in Exeter with her eccentric employer, Mr. Owen, she hopes a quiet holiday in Oxford will offer a reprieve from trouble and from her unresolved feelings for Ruan Kivell, the mysterious Cornish folk healer she cannot forget.
But when a disgraced scholar is found dead at a private exhibition, Ruby is drawn once again into a world of forbidden knowledge and dangerous secrets.
The Devil in Oxford, the latest in Jess Armstrong’s award-winning series, is a richly atmospheric gothic mystery of murder, magic, and a love that refuses to fade.
