Murder, Morphine, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood
Ratings2
Average rating3
I wanted to give this four stars - it's excellently written, genuinely interesting despite its four hundred pages. However, there were two major problems that were not evident until the end. This is not a spoiler: one, the author continually hinted at deeper revelations but they never came; two, he doesn't know the answer to the mystery but only gives his theory. This is disappointing as I'm sure other students of the crime have equally plausible conclusions.
