Erika (17789 KP) rated The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness in Books
Jan 21, 2019 (Updated Jan 21, 2019)
If you're expecting a book purely based upon Holmes murders, I would not suggest this. Larson builds a huge picture with rich historical detail, which isn't some people's jams. This book is more so about the Worlds' Fair, and how the murder house took advantage of the slight upheaval.
