The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America

I had seen this book several times and waited to request it, thinking I knew the story pretty well. I knew about H.H.Holmes and his hotel and of the fair but this book goes so far beyond what you think you know. It's pretty chilling but fascinating at the same time and transports you back to that time of American ingenuity as well as showing you a look into the life and mind of a completely soulless sociopath. It's WELL worth the read!
