My Dark Places by James Ellroy

4.0

My Dark Places gets a little tedious by the end, both the writing style and the wheel spinning in regard to Ellroy's mother's case. I wish that more had come from the Jean Ellroy re-investigation, but it's interesting to see all of the other cases profiled and their outcomes (if they managed to catch the perpetrators). There's also a good history of the San Gabriel Valley at the time.
