revanchist 's review for:
The Black Dahlia
by James Ellroy
This is a fictional tale based on the murder of Elizabeth Short, presenting the truth of '40s L.A. as a cesspool of crime and moral bankruptcy. Behind the glam of Hollywood(land) is a complicated web of individuals with their hidden lies and agendas. Perhaps that's why the real killer of the Black Dahlia was never convicted.
This was a roller coaster of a read before the afterword went for a last-minute punch. The author, haunted by the memory of his murdered mother, wrote this as a kind of a fucked up commemoration tainted by obsession. May those poor women rest in peace.
