Vicky B. (stickywicket) reviewed The Devil In the White City on 12/30/2008

Helpful Score: 1

This book was fascinating and scarier than you-know-where as it simultaneously tells the story of th Chicago World's Fair and the development of one of America's first known serial killers, a "doctor" who murdered one of his wives, one of his own chldren, along with many others, as well as destroying the entire family of a man who was close to him and probably knew too much to be allowed to live. The author brings to life the time in which it occurs (the late 1800's) with rich detail and description. It is one the best true crime accounts I have read and I have read many!
