Most everyone has heard of the Worlds Fair being held in Chicago in the late 1800's. A lot of peple are aware of H.H. Holmes, the madman murderer who built a hotel TO lure young women and torture them during their stay in the city. FEW if any have heard of his wife Georiana. This book is written thru HER eyes....another victim perhaps? or did she turn a blind eye? WAS she so totally naive or was she a part of his whole sick world? I know what i believe after having read A Competent Witness. Read this book and you decide for yourself. Was she a victim of the female role in marriage of the times? Was she a product of her sheltered upbringing? Or is it possible that she saw, she knew, but refused to acknowlege the truth. Hmm....this is a book you'll whip right through not only due to interest but also due to Nickels talent in storytelling. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
All the young men at the Siegel Cooper department store admire Georgiana Yoke, the charming new clerk just arrived in Chicago ahead of the 1893 World's Fair. They wager it won't take long for some lucky fellow to lure her away from her job, and they're right. After a brief and heady courtship, she marries a charismatic, wealthy entrepreneur. A happy ending, but for one catch. Georgiana's affectionate new husband, Dr. Henry H. Holmes, is also a swindler, a kidnapper, and will one day be known as America's first serial killer. Carefully researched and closely based on real events, A Competent Witness recasts the infamous story of H. H. Holmes as it unfolded to the woman he cruelly deceived.
