Black Dahlia, Red Rose
Black Dahlia, Red Rose: The Crime, Corruption, and Cover-Up of America's Greatest Unsolved Murder | Piu Eatwell
The gruesome 1947 murder of hopeful starlet Elizabeth Short holds a permanent place in American lore as one of our most inscrutable true-crime mysteries. In a groundbreaking feat of detection hailed as "extensive" and "convincing" (Bustle), skilled legal sleuth Piu Eatwell cracks the case after seventy years, rescuing Short from tabloid fodder to reveal the woman behind the headlines. Drawing on recently unredacted FBI and LAPD files and exclusive interviews, Black Dahlia, Red Rose is a gripping panorama of noir-tinged 1940s Hollywood and a definitive account of one of the biggest unsolved murders of American legal history.

My current audiobook immediately came to mind for #asilentscream.

The Black Dahlia was Elizabeth Short, her life sniffed out on January 15, 1947. Her murderer has never been caught.

This audio is so much more than just a retelling of Short‘s demise though. You get thrown into the atmospheric world of journalists and cops in the 1940s and it is delicious!

Megabooks This may be a true crime I like. You make great true crime recs, but sometimes I get scared 😱 5y
Reviewsbylola 😆😆 I have a serious problem. This one was such a brutal killing but I personally don‘t find it scary. Then again, I‘m probably a bit desensitized by now. 😬 @Megabooks 5y
Kaye This might sound weird, but I‘ve never gotten scared reading any true crime book. The made up horror stories are much more unsettling to me. Strange. 5y

Reviewsbylola I rarely get scared reading anything. I‘m kind of upset about it. I want something to scare the shit out of me. 😆 @Kaye 5y

Fascinating. If you're a fan of true crime, pick this book up. This story is a touch different in that the author reveals her own detective work alongside that of those involved in the actual case. The narrative style is reminiscent of Erik Larson and every bit as intriguing.

RainyDayReading I‘ve read a couple of books about the black dahlia murder but this was definitely the most engrossing and well written. 6y

I was so excited to read this book. I actually enjoyed part one, but I stopped reading a few chapters into part two.
