Kerry D. (CATAdriver) reviewed on 1/8/2006 + 16 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

A largely historical work that reads like a novel. It's about the planning, design and building of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (The White City) The book becomes decidedly more interesting as it slowly at first introduces Dr. H. H. Holmes (The Devil), a psychopathic killer, his "murder castle" and the tangled web of lies, deception and murder that comes unraveled in the end due to the work of a tireless and brilliant detective. Not for the squeemish!
