Really struggled with this one - just couldn’t get a handle on the chronology and all the different people involved.

The book has clearly been very well researched but it felt to me as if the author has info-dumped all that into the page without a sense of how it all fits together.

For a reader familiar with the Black Dahlia case and wanting more analysis, this might well have the thoroughness and detail you’re looking for - but for a lay reader like me, it was a confusing and often frustrating reading unfortunately.
