A review by renatasnacks
Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood by William J. Mann

3.0

My book club picked this in the midst of Serial-induced true crime fever. It's not a genre that I'm widely read in, or that I have much interest in? Nor am I terribly interested in mysteries, generally. I liked the obvious research that Mann did into this unsolved Hollywood murder, and I liked all the background detail about Hollywood in the 20s. It was a bit of a slog to get through... there's a LOT of detail about Hollywood in the 20s here. Also a lot of people to keep track of.

I would say I recommend it if you are particularly interested in true crime, or Hollywood in the 20s, or some other aspect of this. It might be a bit much for a general reader like me.
