Blood's a Rover by James Ellroy

4.0

Not having read the first two parts of the trilogy that Blood's a Rover completes, I found this an enjoyable read. Lots of characters (some real and some purely fictional) and several different story lines happening at the same time, interspersed with "file inserts" and the authors writing style make this book jump around, but it kept my attention through the ending. The story takes place in the gritty underbelly of late 60's LA, Vegas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Miami and Washington involves a multitude of unsavory characters that are well developed and interesting, lots of violence and rough language set the appropriate tone for the action.
