Murder by Degrees by Ritu Mukerji
4.0
Dr. Lydia Weston's patient is murdered, drawing her into this 1870s murder mystery set in Philadelphia . The beginning of the book felt a bit slow, but once investigation begins and you're invested in Dr. Weston, it starts to pick up. By the end of the book, it's difficult to put down. The medical chapters seem straightforward, but who am I to say? Not my field. But, I've read books where the characters are performing the first ever blood transfusion and arterial surgeries under unideal circumstances (I'm not naming names. Lisa Kleypas 👀), and this seems much more realistic.Â
Memorable Quote:
 "This is Dr. Weston and Sergean Davies. They have come about Anna."
   "Doctor? A lady doctor?" he asked, a brow arched in amusement. "My goodness, what will the modern world serve up next." He looked from one to the other as he removed his gloves. "What is your specialty, if I may ask, Dr. Weston?"
   "Medicine" came the terse reply."
