Here's what readers have to say about this book....
The Oxford Mystery is a little different. It starts with a social media contest that leads around Oxford, with clues promising an eventual cash prize. But it develops into something much more sinister as a man goes missing, several strange events occur in the lives of a couple of contestants and the reader is drawn into a web of intrigue. The plot has several twists, and it is difficult to figure out which of the main characters are telling the truth. There are many hints and revelations before the conclusion. The novel is well written and engaging with motivations unclear until the very end.
This book was pretty good, I would definitely recommend ~This was given by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review………..
I thought this worked well as a tense and suspenseful atmosphere that I was looking for in this type of book. The mystery of this worked well overall and was hooked from the genre, the characters had that feel that I was looking for and was glad they were so well done. It was everything that I was wanting from this type of book and figuring out what was happening with the Oxford Mystery. Colin Wade has a strong writing style and thought the overall feel worked in the story.
This is an intriguing story. It starts with a treasure hunt that gets increasingly complicated. The characters are complex and difficult to see their true role in the plot Good ending
