I found this easier to follow on 🎧audio than physical. Information dense but very interesting. Pictures would have made a wonderful edition📸

I look forward to following this up with a few others from this time period🤓📚

Interesting contrast between the story of a successful world fair and the life of the first serial killer of America.

I recommend both this wildly different books. 😀 🪑🎡

I am so happy to say I finally finished this one! It's been on my TBR since who knows when 🤣

Larson wrote a very detailed, and I do mean very, account of the Chicago's World Fair, the atmosphere and history of the time, as well as the serial killer hiding within.
Larson is a great researcher, this I'm sure of, and gave me so much new information specific to the fair but all in all, while I had a few disconnects.

Larson‘s deep dive into Chicago‘s World Fair may not appeal to all readers. This bit of American history is made more appealing (for some) by adding the story of a serial killer operating in and around the city during this time. Though little of Holmes‘s crimes is actually known, his victims are, and they come to life on the page. He was a white man pretending to be a dr. so nobody questioned the many suspicious disappearances in his life.⬇️
