À propos de cet audio

The gruesome murder of hopeful starlet Elizabeth Short, in the noir-tinged Los Angeles of 1947, has a permanent place in American lore as one of the most inscrutable of true-crime mysteries. Now, Piu Eatwell - relentless legal sleuth and atmospheric stylist - cracks the case after 70 years. With recently unredacted FBI files, newly released sections of the LAPD files, and explosive new interviews, Eatwell has unprecedented access to primary evidence and a persuasive culprit. She layers her findings into a gritty, cinematic retelling of the case from the corrupt LAPD and the take-no-prisoners press to the seedy underworld of would-be actresses and the men who preyed on them. In mesmerizing prose, Black Dahlia, Red Rose is a panorama of 1940s Hollywood, a definitive account of one of the biggest unsolved murders of American legal history.

Very informative, pinpoints murder scene and likely suspect as well as reason for cover up.

All the information is well organized and cross-referenced. The author did an excellent job researching this case and I support her conclusion. "Why did he call me Elizabeth?" was particularly chilling.
I have a strong interest in psychology and listening to the early instance of criminal profiling from Dr. de River was on par with John Douglas. De River was under-appreciated and ahead of his time.
I have this book in paperback but I much prefer this version. I think the narrator was a good choice as his voice and cadence fit well with the dark theme of the book.

Excellent

French author Piu Eatwell advances claims that a pimp/con man named Leslie Dillon was the killer of Elizabeth Short - a famously unsolved murder and desecration in 1947 Los Angeles. She asserts that - along with two co-conspirators - Dillon killed the girl because she found out about an ongoing hotel robbery scheme.. by delivering blows to her head and giving her a Glasgow Smile (slicing her face from corners of mouth to ears).. and then mutilating her corpse's vagina and cutting the body in half for some reason). Connections between one of the conspirators and the Homicide Squad/notoriously corrupt LAPD Gangster Squad led to a cover-up.
The book is well-researched, capably written, includes detailed information about the case (including forensic reports & dozens of suspects), and is convincing. Of the theories that I've read, this one is pretty persuasive.

Sadly for audiobook consumers, reader Robertson Dean is not very good on this project. His diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are professional, but his delivery is uncharacteristically monotonous and free of emotion.

Altogether, 'Black Dahlia, Red Rose' is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the case (or even just True Crime aficionados in general).. but only rates 6.5 stars out of 10. A text version of the book would doubtlessly serve you better if you're interested. If you're merely looking for something interesting to distract during a long drive or a quiet night shift, keep browsing. This was a reasonable download for free.. but not worth a Credit.
