The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson
3.0
3 1/2⭐️
The passages on Holmes’ depravity kept me on the edge of my seat but I found the amount of detail into the architecture to be a bit boring at times. Also, the longs lists of what they ate and the constant mention of Holmes “blue eyes” got repetitive.
With that being said, I didn’t hate this book and will still recommend it to others! I feel like I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind for it and maybe should have read it instead of listening to it.
