an absorbing read
,
each new book abt the Elizabeth Short case "reveals" a different murderer. the recent Daddy Dearest volumes (Knowlton & Hodel) seemd wildly far-fetchd. but my fascination with this haunting crime makes me want to read more.
on tues I bought The Black Dahlia Files but had time to read only a few pages. on wed I was involvd with out-of-town visitors. but yesterday I read straight thru the more than 350 pages -- quite the achievement for a slow reader. I don't want to give away Wolfe's conclusions but I will say that anyone interestd in Hollywood of the '40s or in the history of true crime will want to purchase this.
