The Devil In The White City

I read a new section called "Don't be afraid" I predicted that this chapter would have someone die, but I was wrong but there was some attemped murder. The book had me convinced that Holmes was a nice person but then something happened that made me change my mind quick. He asked someone to drop a rock on his brother-in-law and he would pay them extra cash if they did it. I was so shocked I was actually scared. Also when he met that girl Myrta he was obsessed with her and then when they got married and got her pregnant he hardly spent time with her. I thought that was mean to do because who knows if she had her life planned out already, but he was too busy running his neighborhood drugstore. Which he only used to meet girls. Then he found three guys that would do the dirty work, which i thought that was sort of scary how there are people like that. I knew that Myrta was going to get jealous of all the girls coming in to the drugstore just to flirt with Holmes, I mean I would get jealous too. The whole book basically sounds like an interrogation because all the answers to the many questions are so descriptive that it isn't even necessary. They also talked about Englewood so nicely like if it was a beautiful neighborhood, but if you go there now its not the prettiest sight to see. Holmes spent his time coming up with blueprints for a new building that he was planning on building, and he said that the idea of hiring women to work in all those clothe shops aroused him which I thought was creepy. Holmes also met a man named Pitezel and he has many children, the point is that one of his children were born out of wetlock and everybody was so disappointed in the man. My question is why was wetlock so bad? They described Pitezel as Holmes' creature which I thought was really mean because it makes it seem as if he owns him. When the book explained how interested Holmes was in Jack the Ripper I found that scary and declared him an official pyscho for now because I know something will happen that would make me stick with this idea. I just hope he doesn't get any ideas from Jack the Ripper because he is already an extremely creepy guy and I suspected since the beginning. He also sold the drugstore and promised the new owner that he wouldn't have any competition, but as soon as the person agreed he opened up another drugstore and stole the other guy's thunder on purpose!! The book is getting really interesting, I can't wait to read the next chapter! :D
