The Body on the Bed by Leonard Krishtalka
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

1871 Lawrence & Garnett, Kansas. Early in the morning Belmont with Dr John Medicott discover the dead body of his step-father Isaac Ruthman. Soon Dr. Medicott is arrested and charged wth the murder. Mary Fanning covers the murder trial for the Kansas Daily Tribune as their first woman reporter.
An interesting historical mystery, but unfortunately for me too much time was spent on the trial proceedings. That genre of novel is not that much of an interest to me.
But overall an enjoyable and well-written story.
