This was a fun mystery set in an Oxford college. It doesn't have the "dark academia" vibes but there's the murder of "It Girl" April Clarke-Cliveden that takes place in a college, so it counts. And it does have the gang of quirky friends who are all a little mysterious and calculating. I wasn't blown away by the book but I could appreciate how it all wrapped up. And even though moved a little slowly, I was intrigued and engaged the whole time.
