A Murderer within the Fair by Brenda Bautista


The World Fair is said to be the best fair to be created in our homeland, even better that the Eiffel Tower itself. Throughout this grand time, one by one, people disappeared along the face of the earth never to be found or heard of again. The Devil in the White City, by Erick Larson is about the Fair’s development and the murders that were occurring during that time. The Fair was competed for and the winners brought it to Chicago while a man arrived in Chicago slowly rising to be the best doctor, even if it may cost him his life. Just as the fair rose and went through difficulties, so did the man with his accomplishments to meet his goals. From 3 out of 5 stars, the novel was suspenseful. To see how the Fair and the man grew in time was exciting, as was to finally know how he and the Fair both ended, though it was rather confusing as some parts of the novel.  It is best recommended for people around the ages 15 and up, with the interests in murder and historical time since this novel has two different things happening at the same time.
