I had heard of this book and heard it was good. I didn't realize that it was a true story until I saw this episode of the TV show Timeless. (I guess watching TV isn't a total waste, after all.) I also watched a History Channel show investigating if the United States' first serial killer H.H. Holmes was actually Jack the Ripper.
The Devil in the White City focuses on Holmes and Daniel Burnham the main architect of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.
I confess I was more interested in the gruesome murders than the awe inspiring sites of the Fair. It was amazing what Burnham and his team were able to accomplish, including the first Ferris Wheel.
