Murder at St Margaret
(2020)(The first book in the Oxford Key Mystery series)
A novel by Lynn Morrison
Nat thought her new cat was adorable. It turns out he is a four-hundred-year-old wyvern with a cheddar addiction and a tendency to set things on fire when he sneezes. Welcome to the magical side of Oxford.
When event planner Natalie Payne discovers a body on her first morning at St Margaret College, she assumes it is the worst thing that could happen.
Turns out, she’s wrong.
The cat following her around is actually Humphrey, a former gargoyle who reveals that Nat has inherited a sacred duty to protect Oxford’s failing magic.
Solving a murder is hard enough, but Nat must also team up with a local professor who is as handsome as he is infuriatingly stoic. As they work together to unmask the killer, a slow-burn attraction begins to simmer. His grumpy demeanour is constantly at odds with her sunshine optimism, yet he might be the only one who can help her navigate this new world.
With a high-stakes gala looming and no chef willing to cook, Nat must solve the crime while learning to manage a secret world of talking portraits and helpful ghosts. Can one determined woman, her snarky wyvern, and a broody professor save Oxford before the magic vanishes forever?
