Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG/R
When it comes to sex, pretty much the only thing that's steamy in this book is the Chicago summer of 1893.
But, real talk: The Devil In The White City is messed up. If it were a movie, the MPAA would slap an R on this thing, because what it lacks in sexy-sex-sex it makes up for with a murder castle.
There are no heaving bosoms…but there are women suffocating in airtight rooms. There's no nudity…but there are human bones found in huge kilns. There's no bow-chicka-bow-bow music…but there are women getting chloroformed in the middle of the night and then killed.
So, yeah. Steaminess? Practically non-existent. But creepy, haunt-your-dreams murderousness? That's all over the place.
