Review of 'The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A captivating look into the United States' late nineteenth century, the Chicago Fair and its influence on the future of architecture, spiced with the history of America's first mass-murderer. I couldn't stop listening, and let a lot of other books languish to get to the end of this one.
