Book Review of The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
Paul-RLT avatar reviewed on + 176 more book reviews


Basically two non-fictional stories... the 1893 Chicago World's Fair from conception to completion and the unbelievable story of a physician mass murderer during this time period. The thread in common is Chicago. A good read - provides a lot of background of life at the end of the 19th century.
