Empty Mansions is one of my favorite non-fiction reads to suggest! I found it so fascinating. Other Gilded Age recommendations in true crime: there are lots of books out there about Stanford White (who makes an appearance on the show), but I like American Eve: Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White, the Birth of the "It" Girl and the Crime of the Century by Paula Uruburu. And I liked Harold Schechter's The Devil's Gentleman: Privilege, Poison, and the Trial That Ushered in the Twentieth Century about a series of cyanide killings in Manhattan.

I am SO not a fan of permanent daylight savings time BUT I would live with either “time” if it meant we could just not change twice a year. I love these book recs, thank you.
