Beethoven's Hair: An Extraordinary Historical Odyssey and a Scientific Mystery Solved by Russell Martin

3.0

I'm not sure what to make of this. It's overwritten throughout, under reported in some spots and well reported in others. The passages about Ferdinand Hiller's life and the Danes' remarkable rescue of the Jews in WWII are fascinating clip jobs, but the inquiry into Beethoven's death is more than a little speculative and breathless.
