A review by ashley_elizabeth
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

dark informative mysterious slow-paced

3.75

I greatly enjoyed learning about this time period and, more specifically, these two unique experiences in US History. I came in knowing very little about the Chicago 1893 World's Fair, so this was incredibly informative and I felt compelled to look up photos to see more of what  is being described in the book. The story of Holmes, while terrible, was also incredibly fascinating. Would have loved a little less exposition and a slightly brisker pace.
