The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
by Erik Larson
Lisa's Comments
"A truly gripping read. So much history and so many things were born at the Chicago World's fair that shape our every day lives--electric lights, Shredded Wheat and the Ferris wheel. The madness of the murders, and why we don't know more about them or recognize them as part of our cultural consciousness is mind boggling! The tenaciousness of the criminal investigation, and trial are also gripping. I could not put this book down. And can't wait until my next trip to Chicago!" (read more)

How The Dose Works

Seven days a week, the Powells.com Daily Dose brings a reader's review to your Inbox — along with a chance to win free books!

Each day shortly after midnight we post the day's featured item on our web site and in our email to Daily Dose subscribers. The reader whose comments we use has until day's end (11:59 p.m. Pacific Time) to visit our special contest page and claim the prize. Each day we add $20 credit to the available total — until someone wins free books. Then the next day it all starts again.
