The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson
3.0
This would have been a great book if it talked about the World's Columbian Exposition only.
I have no idea why the story of H. H. Holmes is even included here. There is very little information about the actual murders that the author can share with us, and there is virtually no connection between the killer (or his victims) and the Fair, at least not an obvious one. Why write it then? It would have been much better without it.
