by Erik Larson
My book club read this book. It is a slow starter, but that was my experience reading Dead Wake by Erik Larson as well. It simply takes some time to set up the stories and the characters, so I think this is inevitable. But sticking with it and reading through to the end was certainly worth the initial effort. Setting the stories of the architects of the world's fair along side the stories of a serial killer and his victims was chilling but incredibly effective. And the tail-end of the book talks some about the investigation and legal case against the serial killer. This is truly a wonderful book.
