A review by mariakureads
Black Dahlia, Red Rose: The Crime, Corruption, and Cover-Up of America's Greatest Unsolved Murder by Piu Marie Eatwell

3.0

I mentioned early on that Eatwell gives a lot of data and that stayed true to theme to the very end of this book.
It's been over 70 years since her body was discovered that fateful morning in Los Angeles and it's still fascinating today as it was then but I knew that going into this book I was going to get some of the same information that has already been divulged to the public but what Eatwell did, and fantastically, is give her theory and not embellish the theories of others.

With her research firm in hand, Eatwell did not hide her opinion on who the killer was and the intricacies involved, the lies and deceit from police department and investigators, nor the darkness that shrouded Los Angeles but used it all to fuel the case and murder of Elizabeth Short.

This won't be last book on Short, but it's definitely one of the best nonfiction I've read in a long time regarding Short
