The Perfect Place to Die

Stalking Jack the Ripper meets Devil in the White City in this terrifying historical fiction debut about one of the world's most notorious serial killers.

In order to save her sister, Zuretta takes a job at an infamous house of horrors—but she might never escape.

Zuretta never thought she'd encounter a monster. She had resigned herself to a quiet life in Utah. But when her younger sister, Ruby, travels to Chicago during the World's Fair, and disappears, Zuretta leaves home to find her.

But 1890s Chicago is more dangerous and chaotic than she imagined. She doesn't know where to start until she learns of her sister's last place of employment . . . a mysterious hotel known as The Castle.

Zuretta takes a job there hoping to learn more. And before long she realizes the hotel isn't what it seems. Women disappear at an alarming rate, she hears crying from the walls, and terrifying whispers follow her at night. In the end, she finds herself up against one of the most infamous mass murderers in American history—and his custom-built death trap.

Romance to Thriller?

I loved this. I’m usually a romance reader, but this held my attention. The characters are written wonderfully. Zuretta trying to find her sister, then the plot twist, was insane. It was nice to learn what the World’s Fair was and all the inventions during that time.

Murder Mystery

A good book to listen to. I enjoyed listening to it. Narrator did a good job.

Riveting

I was so engulfed that I listened to it all at once. I love the main character. She is full of gumption.

A historical fiction

The story it was fun. Sometimes the voice acting felt a little off but overall I did enjoy the reader.

There were some liberties taken with the actual H. H. Holmes case so don’t come looking for historical accuracy in this fictional work.
