Helpful Score: 2


As someone from Chicago, I found this book really interesting and compelling. I often forgot it was historical, and not a work of fiction. Very easy to read, and I loved how historical figures weave in and out of the story.

I highly recommend this book for people who love history, rough and tumble old Chicago, fans of serial killer stories, and architecture buffs. Probably the only book that could reach that particular fan base!
