This book was good but I wanted a lot more of the devil, especially given the title. We get a lot of The White City and disproportionate amount of information concerning H. H. Holmes. I understand Larson's challenge in discovering accurate information is the origin of the lacking details.

In spite of this, I enjoyed the book. Considering the research and information Larson obtained, and its age, makes this work impressive. The organization of that information, and the resulting narrative, was interesting and informative in tandem.
