Resena: The Devil in the White City : Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
The book is both true crime and historical in nature. Mr. Larson has chosen the setting of Chicago in the late 1800's as his subject. The supporting cast is the famous World's Fair (which brings us the first Ferris Wheel) and the infamous H.H.Holmes (who brings us the first American serial killer). Holmes will be remembered as the "doctor" who built a castle of torture in the windy city and almost successfully got away with multiple murder. This edition of the World Fair will be remembered as the one that almost wasn't. Mr. Larson has done a meticulous job in researching and documenting every aspect of this book. He juxtaposes history with true crime every other chapter, keeping the readers interest in both subjects.
