The Devil in the White City

[flippyshark]

This book is second next in my bedside bookpile. I'll comment on it fairly soon. Currently finishing THE SHARK GOD and starting THE ANCESTOR'S TALE, which is long, but I'll be on WHITE CITY within a week or two.

Has anyone read the author's new book, THUNDERSTRUCK, concerning radio inventor Guglielmo Marconi and English killer Dr. H.H. Crippen? Reviews aren't as good, but it sounds interesting to me.

I enjoyed the book, but I differed from most others here, in that I was more interested in the serial killer story than the World's Fair story.

I didn't think the connection between the two story lines was that strong, so it really could have been two separate books.

I found the excerpt in this month's issue of Vanity Fair very interesting. That article focused almost entirely on the capture of Crippen. But, what was there made me make note of the book and to check it out.
