The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America

I really enjoyed this book. It is 2 parts history and 1 part psychological thriller.
The author does a great job of laying out the gravity and impact of the World's Fair in Chicago. The stature and "key players" were fascinating-- intertwining history and lore. I felt like I had attended a very interesting class on Chicago cerca turn of the nineteenth century.
The "Devil" was a side show really, but incredibly frightening and interesting all the same.

I just finished this book yesterday and enjoyed the read. Nick was really surprised that he had never heard of "America's first serial killer" Holmes. He loves true crime novels and will probably read this book too.
