We are thrilled to introduce a debut author based here in Huntsville! Kate Westbury has written an irresistible historical detective story layered with mystery, romance, and a dash of academia. Set in post–World War II Oxford, The Oxford Guide to Scandal and Lies brings together an unlikely pair of students to work for the British Secret Service: a quiet young man with espionage experience and a savvy young woman with smarts. You'll enjoy their banter and want to follow them on this secret mission to capture a Soviet spy. Two ticket options are available: Get tickets HERE Ticket with Book: $29 Ticket Only: $15 About The Oxford Guide to Scandal & Lies: It's Oxford, England, 1951. The Honorable Ginevra Bishop likes red lipstick, clever retorts, and earning top marks in her tutorials. Sidney Braithwaite likes brooding, Latin, and ignoring his nightmares. Though Gin and Sidney have little in common, the British Security Service is keen to unite her charm with his espionage experience: there’s a Soviet spy at the university, and the agent tracking them down was poisoned. MI5 wants Gin and Sidney to pick up the trail and identify the informant before more sensitive information is compromised. As a team, the pair clash in personality, upbringing, and taste—but have a connection neither can deny.   About Kate Westbury: Kate Westbury grew up a voracious reader of detective fiction, and unraveling plot twists became her favorite pastime. She now puts her whodunnit obsession to good use writing historical mysteries. Beyond the page, Kate teaches Latin and dreams of moving to an English village with crimes to solve.
