## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well researched and interesting account
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017*

I must throw in my two cents here.  Unlike many of the readers I find the relentless facts thrown out to be quite interesting.  The way the author documents what is known about Holmes is excellent.  I also agree with those who find his arrangement of these facts to be rather dry but at the same time I find them fascinating.  One thing that does throw me, though, is that the author asserts from the start that Holmes did not kill nearly as many people as he is credited with, and later casts doubt on the fact that he could be considered a serial killer at all, and that furthermore when he threatens a man who had complained about debris from his building (Holmes had a pistol and a knife!) and was only saved by a policeman that this is "uncharacteristic" of Holmes.  By this point in the book no less than five people had been killed by Holmes, and in its broadest definition serial killer denotes someone who kills either for pleasure or financial gain -- clearly Holmes was at least a sociopath, and the fact that he had no compunction about killing children leads one to believe he was no doubt a serial killer for all practical purposes.  It seems the author strains mightily to demythologize Holmes to the point of trying to ignore the fact that he was pretty much a monster of sorts.  Worth the read for anyone interested in Mudgett aka H.H. Holmes.

    colossal bore!
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017*

A boring collection of essentially footnotes.  There is no flow or continuity or literary arc. Just a recitation of one-line newspaper accounts that may or may not be true.  A good editor might have been able to rescue this mess but in its present form it is nigh well unreadable.  A waste of time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Must-read for fans of Chicago or crime history.
  

*by P***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017*

This is a great read. I had read enough about Holmes to know that Devil in the White City was greatly embellished (it's a great story, nonetheless), and then when Adam mentioned this book while my wife and I were taking one of his tours (the history of Graceland Cemetary - check it and his other tours out on his website Mysterious Chicago), I ordered it right away.It was fascinating to learn the real history of such a notorious figure, and how the legend of HH Holmes grew over the decades. This book also shows a fascinating glimpse of how journalism and police work was in the late 19th century. I highly recommend this book.
