Tom Swift in the Land of Wonders volume 20 in the Tom Swift series by Victor Appleton. In this volume Tom and his friends are in the Honduran jungle in search of a Golden Idol. Our hero thwarts the bad guys, find the idol, and he gets the girl. A fun escape for the listener to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when "electric" rifles in the near future were a distinct possibility.

It's a cute story, however, the narrator's voice is extremely deep and some of his words were lost.

Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

Holmes
Revisado: 01-25-17
If you're reading just for the Holmes story, this isn't the book for you. The title is misleading in that it intimates that the book is mainly about Holmes (the titular devil) in the white city of Chicago. This is not the case. I would say that about a sixth of this book is about Holmes and his victims while the rest is about the architects and other social luminaries that helped to create the worlds fair in Chicago. This wasn't what I was looking for, so it wasn't right for me, but if you're a history buff that likes architecture or landscape design, then it's perfect for you.
