Should I read Devil in the White City prior to readying this one?

Caroline Devil in the White City is an excellent book if you're interested in the second world's fair in Chicago and how it influenced a lot of today's infrastructure and culture. It's a very interesting book about that. However, while Holmes is part of the book, he's definitely not the author's first, or even second, concern.
Beth Lundgreen Devil is heavy on architectural/historical information and scant on actual information on HH Holmes. I found this book a better read for learning about HH Holmes and his crimes.
Michiel No, but you should read it anyway!
