The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

After having several days off, I finished another non-fiction book and what a book it was: "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson.

It tells the history of two extremes, Daniel Burnham and others involvement in the incredible World Colombian Exhibition in Chicago 1892 as well as America's first known serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett aka H.H. Holmes.

The writing style was exceptionally done with teases and parceled out knowledge to lead the reader in a journey about these two separate but linked events. What also struck me are the reciprocal things and moments from the exhibition that led to innovations and ideas which changed history, some for the better and some for the worse. It had me wanting to read the next chapter after each one was finished. The exhibition itself would be a wondrous place to be...as long as one did not stay at Mr Holmes' hotel. Highly recommended.
