57 - Pull up a barstool, grab a drink and join us for Part 3 of our chat about The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. We're sipping away on a My Fair Lady this week as we discuss the magic of the fair, things that could have gone very wrong if we hadn't listened to what our "guts" were telling us and story elements that need closure as we finish up next week. We also play a very silly round of The Top Ten Showstoppers H.H. Holmes Pitched for the World's Fair. Yiiiiiiiiiikes.

Deep Dive Recommendation: American Ripper

Pages Discussed:  198-298 (Acquiring Minnie - Claustrophobia)

Next Week:  We finish this damn book!

Join us again for Happy Hour next Thursday, and follow us on Insta @AreTheseBooksDrunk for updates on our next episode & cocktail pairing so that you can read along and sip along with us!
