Title: Call it True Crime without the additional 200 pages of fluff
Review: "SEVERED" presents the most thorough account of the murder of Elizabeth Short. Unlike other True Crime novels, it doesn't focus on the hooplah of the storyline, but instead gets to the point, from page one, and stays there. John Gilmore's always made a point to do just that, and with the second printing of this acclaimed title, readers will find more images and basis of the crime itself. His no-holds-barred approach and presenting the most gruesome crime scene sets a premise for related crime writing. And, whether completely believable or not, Gilmore writes with conviction - something most other novels of this nature lack.
