The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


This is a terrific non-fiction book about the creating of the Chicago World's Fair at the turn of the century. It is at the same time, the story of the first serial killer. It was fascinating to read about how the fair came to be, and how the serial killer fits into the story. Well-written, excellent book.
