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

dark informative slow-paced

2.5

Although thoroughly researched and as readers we are presented with a deeply rich and detailed timeline of events, the writing didn’t grasp me and at times felt very tedious. I think I would have enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook more.
