The Devil in the White City

Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
Nov 08, 2019Bubba_Louie rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This work of non-fiction contains two real-life stories that both happened at about the same time in Chicago, Illinois, USA (in 1893) during that city's World's Fair celebration. By far, the story covering the activities of Dr. Holmes is the most interesting of the two. Believe me, this guy was a real monster like you could never imagine. How many people this "devil" actually killed (which includes children) is estimated somewhere between 27 and 200 in all. This is a very well-researched book that holds the reader's rapt attention for the most part.
