Of the three I have only read The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime that Scandalized a City and Sparked the Tabloid Wars and it's terrific.

Interesting question. I would like to help, but I read very little modern fiction. I'm reading "The Tale of Two Cities" right now. Nothing terribly mysterious there, I'm afraid, the book having been dissected and commented on for almost 160 years. Wow! It's testing my recall for the history books I read which dealt with events of the French revolution.Good luck on whichever one you choose, and I'm looking forward to your review when you are finished with it.

Great choices! But I’ve only read Devil in the White City. Although I love Erik Larson’s books; In my opinion this one is his weakest. Maybe go with one of the other two.
I'd go with The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America.
