Oops, apparently I read this back in 2007 and forgot! Not surprised, this wasn't the most engaging of murders, though it was interesting to find out about the history of Hollywood's past as a town with troubles.

As much as I love comic book form true crime, Geary does run into problems with more long form versions of recounting events when so little is known about the crime. On the other hand, how much is still not known about a crime that occurred in one of the most famous neighborhoods in the United States with all well known people involved speaks to the high profile crime themes that pervade the 20th century (OJ Simpson, anyone?).
