Review title: Smart, gory, and hard to put down...
Product review: I got this book as a gift and it's a great guilty pleasure - the perfect "slow down to see the car crash" blend of forensic fact, Los Angeles history, and lurid Tinseltown rumor and scandel. And did I mention, plenty of lurid photos? Some are a bit hard to view, but if you're a true crime buff, or just interested in the seamier side of L.A. history, this book delivers the goods!Blanche and Schreiber cover a great deal of ground in a highly entertaining manner from the origins of forensic science and the L.A. County Coroner through a number of high profile cases, and many not so well-known (at least, to me). Fans of films that explore L.A.'s dark side - like CHINATOWN, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, TRUE CONFESSIONS, or DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS - will find DEATH IN PARADISE a great introduction to the real life crimes and mysteries that have helped define our love/hate relationship with that sprawling metropolis.And, it looks great on your coffee table!
