Helpful Score: 1

This is one of the most intriguing, shocking, suspenseful books I've read in a long time. Wonderfully researched and written, the author captures the era beautifully.

Even without the serial murder storyline, I thought this book was extremely interesting and informative. You really feel as though you know what it was like to not only design, build or visit the attractions at the Chicago's World Fair, but you get a good glimpse into life during that time in Chicago, and architecture enthusiasts will enjoy this glimpse into the old Chicago school of architecture. Add in the criminal aspect - one that I had never heard of before reading this book - and you've got quite a story.

The insight into the murderer and his victims is absolutely bone-chilling. I am still shocked to think that these events actually happened. Great read!!
