I feel like this book was made for me. I read Devil in the White city last year and while reading this I instantly felt this is how I wished that book had been. There’s not page after page of filler, what we have here are deadly cat and mouse games between Holmes and numerous victims of his.

The Devil’s City follows numerous point of views for a short period of time, all with one thing in common. At some point, they have a run in with America’s first serial killer. If you’ve read Tantlingers work before you know that you can expect beautiful passages alongside disturbing gore, so fans of the author with be in for a treat.

When I finished reading this, I couldn’t help but wish Tantlinger would return to The Devil’s City in the future for a longer walk through his streets. Sign me up.
