Wow! When my friend recommended this book to me, the story of the serial killer is not what I expected at all. It was such an interesting true story! I love history, so being able to learn about the World's Fair and its impact on the United States was very interesting. I am not really into suspense or murder mysteries, but this book completely drew me in. I liked that there weren't too many horrific details, but at the same time, the author left some areas up to the reader to decide what happened. It was still creepy enough to get into the mind of the killer. I would definitely recommend this!
