Blood & Ivy: The 1849 Murder That Scandalized Harvard by Paul Collins

3.0

Had high hopes of reading an engrossing and entertaining mystery. I was about a third of the way through when I realized that the story might be based on historical facts. It began to get interesting about two-thirds of the way through. Close to the end I was uncertain as to who dunnit. By the end it was clear why the case was historical and important.

This is a book I’ll have to reread now that I know the characters.....unfortunately so many with names beginning with “P”.
