✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *The Devil in the White City* is a vividly written history of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, praised for its detailed portrayal of the era...
Creepy, educational, horrific and historical. Just as other reviewers have stated, this really is two books in one with alternating chapters and story lines of the World's Columbia Exposition in Chicago and H. H. Holmes.
Very slow start, but it picked up about half way through, last few chapters were the best. Cool historical info!
Barbara's pick. 👍🏻
Historical fiction/true crime. About one of the earliest serial killers, H.H. Holmes and how he used the World's Fairs to hide his reign of terror.
