Bryan L. Fordham reviewed The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy
Good, almost great
4 stars
I enjoyed the story but it has serious flaws. I can get past the casual racism and misogyny, assuming they are from the perspective of the characters. But some of the dialogue is oddly repetitive, with some characters setting to have “catch phrases” that repeat far too often. And while it starts off strong and interesting, by the end it’s too many coincidences and neat endings for my taste
