Kate Westbury’s The Oxford Guide to Scandal and Lies is full of British restraint that makes its characters’ clipped manners and careful social choreography half the fun. Set at Oxford at the dawn of the Cold War, the novel pits academic life and espionage: two students juggling lectures, plays, and packed social calendars while quietly hunting a Soviet spy in their midst. The tension between propriety and danger gives the story its spark, with plenty of bristle between the stoic Sidney and renegade Ginevra. Really enjoyed! —Stacy
