The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson- 447 pp.

Follows the construction of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, how it changed the city of Chicago, and how the Fair allowed a serial killer to lure victims to his "Murder Palace" hotel. Written like a novel, so it doesn't feel as dry as most biographies.
