![]() ![]() ![]() Definitely not a potboiler about how the rich get away with things, though that is somewhat thematic. Like if Chinatownfocused specifically on the Mulwray family through the eyes of an academic and not a private investigator. It’s still very good but it’s more of a character exploration on upper crust Los Angeles than it is anything else. This wasn’t quite what I expected but I don’t mean that in a bad way. I knew what I was getting into and I liked it for what it was. Throw in some good LA scenes, a Johnny Rosselli (!) cameo, and things not being what they seem and I’m in. Me personally, I enjoyed this wild romp through Los Angeles as a low level county morgue guy tries to unravel a government conspiracy around Marilyn Monroe’s death. ![]() This got poor reviews and I guess I get it? I suppose it depends on what your expectations are. The first two were good 4-star reads and the third was an excellent 5-star one… By both design and coincidence, I read three consecutive books on Los Angeles over the last 48 hours. ![]()
