A historical detective story of a young Philadelphia doctor puzzled because his mentor, a real historical person, decides somewhat hastily to not perform an autopsy. Loosely laid out, the story itself doesn't have much to recommend it. The history of medicine at the end of the 19th century, however, I found to be fascinating. ( ) The story of a student doctor in the early 20th century who, involuntarily, gets involved in a murder investigation. The story was a good one, but for me, I enjoyed the "background" items in the story as much as the story itself. I was intrigued by the tidbits of medical history interspersed throughout the book. Personal note: I find this happens to me often in fictional books based on historical facts such as in DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Eric Larson. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
