Sin in the Second City
After my dabbles in gin and sin last night, I dove back into my current read which is completely enthralling, Sin in the Second City by Karen Abbott. It follows the life and times of the Everleigh sisters, the notoriously savvy business duo who arguably built the most successful brothel in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century. Their establishment catered only to the finest, wealthiest, and most powerful gents from statesmen to royalty. I'm getting "Everleighed" tonight, and you should too.
