If you like contrasting plots and period history, Erik Larson, is a good read. He resides in New York City but has a home in Seattle. Anyone know him? His book “Devil in the White City” is being made in the a movie staring DiCaprio and directed by Scorsese. The plots combine a serial murderer with the history of Chicago’s 1893 World’s fair. I also enjoyed “Garden of the Beasts” about the rise of Hitler and the US ambassador’s warnings in the 1930’s.
