I found this a really enjoyable page turner, but probably enjoyed it more than others might as I live in Oxford and so am familiar with the location. Knocking down from 5* to 4* as the sexism/racism present makes this a difficult book to recommend/enjoy fully, and I did find some of the chapter openings/endings a bit repetitive.
Moderate: Death, Racism, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Blood, Death of parent, and Murder
