LISTENING: The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

Read by Scott Brick.

Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America: "Bringing Chicago circa 1893 to vivid life, Erik Larson's spellbinding bestseller intertwines the true tale of two men--the brilliant architect behind the legendary 1893 World's Fair, striving to secure America’s place in the world; and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death. Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction."

The book deserves all the paise and awards it has received.
