Kacie Stokes - Devil in the White City

I chose to read "Devil in the White City" because one of my friends recommended it to me. After I researched what the book was about, I quickly realized it was the one I wanted to read. The plot line of this book is different from any other book on the list as it follows two very different men, Daniel Burnham and H.H Holmes. Daniel Burnham is an architect that builds the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, while H.H Holmes is the serial killer that takes advantage of all the people coming in to the World's Fair and builds a "hotel" to kill and dispose of their bodies. It is fascinating to read how this story unfolds and how both Burnham and Holmes overcome their own challenges. This novel is hard to put down once you start, because it is entertaining from start to finish. What makes the book even more interesting is that it is a nonfiction work, and at some points it's hard to believe that the storyline is anything but pure fiction.
