I'm surprised that no other reviewer here has noted that Gerard writes that the murder trial of Holmes was held on 28 October 1895 and he was subsequently hanged on 7 May 1895. Hanged five months before his trial? That was fast justice!

Interesting, but not my fav. The illustrations were just okay and there wasn't much of a "story." More like, this happened, then this, then that. And then it just ended super abruptly. I mean, I learned some things I didn't know, so sure, but it was just ok overall.

The fascinating account of one of America's most prolific serial killers, H. H. Holmes, who operated in Chicago during the time of the world's fair (~1893). The lengths he went to in order to conduct his murder spree is quite astounding!

Another fun (well not fun but entertaining. You know what I mean.) historical murder from Rick Geary, and certainly a much faster read than [b:The Devil in the White City|21996|The Devil in the White City Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America|Erik Larson|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1312066724s/21996.jpg|3486041]. Is it weird that I wanted more of the grizzly details?
