![]() Each topic could very well be a book by itself, and it would be easy to let one story dominate. I thought the book balanced both stories very well. The book tells both their stories – of how the world fair came to be and how it almost failed, and how Holmes got away with it again and again, until he didn’t. Holmes, one of the most notorious serial killers of all times. The Devil in the White City is the tale of 1893 Chicago and the years leading up to it – It was the year of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, aka the World Fair, and the year before the arrest of H.H. The Devil in the White City is a book that I’ve heard a lot of good things about (as well as Thunderstruck, another true crime story by Larson), and all the praise led me to checking it out from the library. Although I read it less often now, I still enjoy a well-written true crime book. ![]() ![]() I used to have a ‘true crime’ phase, where I read mostly true crime. ![]()
