Blood & Ivy: The 1849 Murder That Scandalized Harvard by Paul Collins
5.0
So interesting to read
This was both a great entertaining story and a really informative and fun to read description of both Boston and the early years of Harvard Medical School in the 1800s. A small circle of prominent professors that we are all familiar with are part of the story, and we get little glimpses into their relationships and how they lived. If you love Boston and have lived here long enough to treasure all the history, this should be a delightful read for you.
