Ritu Mukerji is a physician whose debut novel Murder by Degrees (2023) combines her medical background with a love of historical fiction. The book is set in 1875 Philadelphia at the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, one of the first institutions where women could earn medical degrees.
The novel follows Dr. Lydia Weston as she looks into the death of a young woman with ties to the college. Mukerji draws on real history to build a story about women pushing against the boundaries of a profession that did not want them. The medical and historical details give the mystery a strong foundation.
