Oct 23, 2018CElwood rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This book has it all: murder! mayhem! industrialists? architecture?? Larson marries the ambitious story of Chicago's ambitious bid for the World's Fair with the adjacent horror of H.H. Holmes infamous hotel. The author weaves together the adjacent stories with deft prose that is a delight and fascination to the reader. Fair warning: Holmes was a monster and his story is appropriately monstrous.
