Is there an equally good book about the fair that doesn’t depend on the framing device of serial killing? I love the concept of the world’s fairs and would gladly read a book about this one, but I don’t want or need true crime elements. The world is fascinating enough without mass murder being the thing we all remember about events like this.
The true crime trend is more similar to the cheap sensationalism of PT Barnum rather than the eye opening experience of a world’s fair.
