The Devil in the White City

Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America

Erik Larson is a talented author who blesses us with non-fiction history that reads like a novel. 'Devil in the White City' is rich in detail, dripping in history and blood. Extra special for me as my great-grandfather emigrated from Denmark during the World's Fair and lived and worked in Chicago during the Colombian Exposition. I could only imagine what he, a 17-year-old teenager, thought of America, his new country, with the splendor of the fair and the crimes of a serial killer. Anyone who loves history should read the works of Erik Larson.
