The Devil in the Black City by Yvette Quiroz Garcia


         In 1893, in the state of Chicago, the most devastating murders were committed by the scams of a serial killer, all behind the legendary World Fair. The title of the book would be The Devil in the White city by Erik Larson. The theme would be that no matter how pleasant something, someone, or some places may seem, they can have the most evil in them.  As already explained, The Devil in the White city consisted of murder cases that took place at the World Fair, which was only to show to places such as New York and Paris that Chicago was just as good as them. Within Chicago, there was the good and also the evil, which you will be running into while getting more into the book and you will find yourself discovering the history behind the tragic walls of Chicago. Reading the book was a great thumbs up. Out of a rating of 5 stars, I automatically gave it 5 stars. The book always had my attention and only made me very interested each time as I read more into the book especially if you’re someone who enjoys murder stories. I recommend this book to teenagers, due to the reason for it being so historical and being so in depth with the telling of murders, which is a big attention grabber to many teens.
