Book Log 2019 #25: Blood & Ivy by Paul Collins

In 1849, Dr. George Parkman went missing after making a visit to the Harvard Medical School. While the search focused on where he may have gone after the visit, the school's janitor had the thought that Parkman may have never left the school. What followed is a classic true crime story, complete with the sort of investigative twists and legal drama that helps flesh out the whodunit.

I enjoyed this more than expected, possibly due to the case being local and thus involving locations and people with which I have some familiarity. It's well-paced and doesn't delve into hyperbole as some true crime books do. If you're interested in historical crime it's worth picking up.
