Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the second Jemima Shore book I have read. I picked up both books at a library sale. Having previously read Lady Antonia's Warrior Queens and The Weaker Vessel, I was looking forward to great reads with these two books - Oxford Blood and A Splash of Red.
Sorry, Jemima Shore just doesn't appeal to me. Spoiled, precious and promiscuous, Jemima and the other characters are people I would not like to meet. Why in the world would a woman of Jemima's wealth and charm have sex with some really disgusting men?
This book is not educational, entertaining, escapist, elucidating or enlightening. There is no reason to read it unless you are stuck at home in a blizzard and have nothing else to read.

"With deft, wry prose and a credible plot, Fraser holds our interest and leaves us clamoring for more Jemima Shore mysteries."—Publishers WeeklyIn this tale Jemima is reluctantly shooting a TV exposé — "Golden Lads and Girls" — on the exotic lifestyles of overprivileged undergraduates. Among them is Lord Saffron, the wealthy, twenty-year-old heir to the former foreign secretary. When a confession by a dying midwife throws Saffron's birth and bloodline into doubt, Jemima's interest in the documentary perks up considerably. Then a student is murdered, drawing Jemima into a case that will demand the utmost of her skills of detection.
