Post Mortem at Padua

In Oxford's newest twin city, a case of mistaken identity puts a woman's life in jeopardy

The invitation to visit Oxford's twin city of Padua couldn't have come at a better time. Natalie, Kate, and Mathilde have spent weeks trying valiantly to expand Oxford's magic, only to have every attempt end in failure. A trip to the land of pasta, high fashion, gelato, and fine wine sounds almost too good to be true.

They pack their suitcases and jet off for Italy, bringing Harry and H, Nat's cheeky wyvern, along with them. But within minutes of landing, Harry falls prey to a series of mishaps.

As the danger grows, Nat wonders if perhaps Oxford isn't the only thing with an Italian twin. Could a case of mistaken identity explain the malevolent force which has Harry in its sights?

Nat and her friends follow the evidence, uncovering a decades' old cold case with a modern day connection. Friends new and old offer a hand with interpreting the clues as the investigation spans generations.

With the clock ticking, can they identify who killed Harry's lookalike before Harry joins the ranks of the dead?
