The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson
dark
informative
slow-paced
3.5
As much as I'm interested in both history and true crime, I wanted to be more in love with this book than I was. I found myself confused by which people were which, and found some of the chapters to feel quite monotonous. The last third or so of the book was by far the most compelling to me. That being said, I would definitely both recommend this book and would like to read more Erik Larson moving forward.
