I really enjoy Historical Fiction genre, add in Romance and Mystery and it becomes a must read book for me. The White City is all of those in one book. It is based around the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and being I am a Chicago girl, Born, raised and still living here, I jumped at the chance to read this book.

I was immediately drawn into the story and couldn't put the book down. The writing style keeps the reader captivated. The characters read as if they are in the room with you instead of a book. The storyline is very easy to follow and so much going on. My favorite character was Winnie, as she has a "determined" personality and wants to get things done and I am similar. I really enjoyed learning about H.H. Holmes and his involvement in the real life Crime of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. I also loved the Romance between Winnie and Detective Jude! I finished the book in a few hours, it was just that good!

The White City is Book 1 of a 6 Book Series:  TRUE COLORS: HISTORICAL STORIES OF ROMANCE AND AMERICAN CRIME. I am very much looking forward to reading the Entire series as they are published in the future! GREAT BOOK!
