The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy

4.0

---

this novel becomes, by turns, darker and more disturbing. The narrator becomes more deeply emeshed in the tragedy of the Dahlia while his own life becomes torridly intertwined with the people responsible for her death. The short, terse chapters and the time appropriate dialogue combine to spin this tale out. A worthwhile read.
