Mysterious Disappearances Taint the Chicago World’s Fair
Step into True Colors -- a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime
While attending the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.
Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes’s illicit activity, or will Winnifred become his next victim?

My Thoughts:
The White City by debut author Grace Hitchcock is very interesting and charming as the author writes this mystery, historical novel all into one with a dash or romance. Like I said, this book is interesting. I love the story line with the two men and of course Winnie is a great character with her upbeat, fiesty, take charge personality.
The plot line of this book was intriguing and I loved trying to solve the mystery, all while being in the Chicago World Fair, a time period in which I do not have a lot of prior knowledge, but I cannot say enough great details about the writing of this historical event, either. Grace made me feel like I was right there. This book was intriguing and inviting.
Pick up a copy today! You will enjoy this clean, historical, mystery book!
