A Book of True Crime
Task #2 of the BookRiot Read Harder Challenge:
🔪A book of true crime - Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson
I was dancing around this title for years, and never took the plunge because it appeared to be more geared toward the World's Fair in Chicago. My intuition was correct. It seemed like every two chapters you would read a bit about H.H. Holmes and the rest was the inception, construction, and completion of building the "White City". Turns out this fair was the first place a Ferris Wheel was constructed, so that was an interesting tidbit.
