Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America's Soul by Karen Abbott

5.0

Turn of the century prostitution, the classiest brothel in the United States, and an epic battle between religious reformers and crooked politicians, there is literally nothing you could ask for more. I really liked how The Crimson Petal and the White delved more into the everyday lives of prostitutes, and I wanted to hear more stories from the Everleigh Club butterflies, but it's a minor quibble in an exceedingly well written, fascinating account of a two mysterious sisters in a terribly interesting time in Chicagoan history.
