The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

4.0

The amount of research that went into this is mind-boggling. And much of the story is fascinating-- the way that Larson weaves the planning and creation of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition with the machinations of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, a serial killer in Chicago at the time, is masterful. However, I found myself skimming over much of the technical minutiae regarding the World's Fair... would not have minded a LITTLE less detail.
