I found this Grisham novel a bit slow and was surprised by the ending. Although the story line was very timely, I wasn't as riveted as I've been with other novels from this author. All in all, though, not a bad book. Just not one of the best I've read from this author.

Not a book you "can't put down", but a good one nonetheless. Well written story about three women and their lives.

Pretty good read - somewhat predictable but a great airplane or weekend book. Above average for genre


The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
Review Date: 12/19/2013


Really interesting book - combining the planning and building of the Chicago World's Fair in the late 1800's with the doings of a serial killer residing in the area at the same time. Interestingly, the stories work well together and provide a fascinating glimpse into the city's history. As a former Chicagoan and an architecture buff, this was a great read.
