vicardave 's review for:
The Black Dahlia
by James Ellroy
A brilliantly constructed mystery that's as much about the city it's set in as it is about the crime at the heart of the plot. The sense of a city descending into hell is palpable, the characters and the sense of place sticking to the reader's hands like glue; as rich as the characters are, the way women are treated in this story is deeply troubling and it's hard to discern from this book alone if that's Ellory or hos characters, or both.
