The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
dark

sad
3.5
Larson did a great job setting up the atmosphere and what was going on at the time. His descriptions were vivid and I could picture being there. I really enjoyed how he captured that bit of life in detail.
I was bummed at how small a portion of the book is dedicated to HH Holmes. I was assuming it would be at least a 50/50 split, and it definitely was not. I learned a lot more about architecture and any dozens of people who worked on the fair than I was expecting.
