The Black Dahlia | James Ellroy

#MelodiousMusicals #SunsetBoulevard This book tells a fictionalised account of a young Hollywood hopeful, Elizabeth Short, who was murdered in 1947 and her body left in the Leimert Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles. To the best of my knowledge this grisly case has never been solved and was made into a film in 2006. The streets of Hollywood aren't always paved in Gold, but no one deserves this ending. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dahlia

CrowCAH An interesting cold case of a movie star; neat! 7y

BarbaraBB I once played a computer game based on the book! 7y

Andrew65 @BarbaraBB That would be interesting. 7y

BarbaraBB A typical adventure game in the 90s in which you are the detective looking for clues! 7y

Stars Over Sunset Boulevard | Susan Meissner

#Confession I have NOT read ANY of these books...but they sound like they would definitely feature #SunsetBoulevard #OldTimeHollywoodGlam #MelodiousMusicals @CrowCAH Has anyone read any of these titles??? I'm most intrigued by Marlene💕

TrishB Not read any either 😱 7y

rubyslippersreads I've read the tagged book and found it so-so. I'd like to read all the others, though. 7y

Melissa_J I‘ve also not read any of the books pictured. 7y

DivineDiana No, but I would like too! 😉 7y

Reecaspieces Not read any...but LOVE the covers!! 7y

Andrew65 Not read any but whilst researching today's musical and book connections I came across Stars Over Sunset Boulevard and it interested me. One strand of the story seems to be connected to Gone With the Wind and I almost posted the book for #MelodiousMusicals myself. (edited) 7y

DebinHawaii I read and liked this one. Good blend of real life Hollywood characters & events with fictional. 📚👍

All the Stars in the Heavens

AlaMich Those all sound good! I'm sort of partial to olde Hollywood/Los Angeles stories. 7y

Amie Woman Enters Left is good. I think I DNF'd All the Stars in the Heavens. Stars Over Sunset Boulevard is on my TBR. 7y

Cinfhen I agree @AlaMich have you read Evelyn Hugo or

Lucky Us: A Novel

Cinfhen I read her other books but wasn't such a fan @DebinHawaii

The Shoemaker's Wife

Cinfhen @amie I'm hit or miss with both those authors too🙄 7y

Cinfhen I agree @Reecaspieces the covers are all captivating 💘 7y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Yeah, I have tried a couple of her other books before and couldn't get into them. This one was a like & more successful for me because I love those golden years of Hollywood, my dad was a big Loretta Young fan, & I love Clark Gable so I found it interesting. 7y

CrowCAH Looks some great female stars are featured in those books; haven‘t read any either. 7y

Mdargusch Yes, I am drawn in by the covers too, but now that I read " one strand of the story seems to be connected to GWTW " I am really intrigued! @Cinfhen and @Andrew65 7y

Andrew65 @Mdargusch I thought that might interest some people, especially following the Group Read. 7y

Reviewsbylola I've got Marlene but haven't read it. I read the Trigiani. It was interesting but way too long. 7y

Reviewsbylola Meanwhile I loved The Shormaker's Wife. It's he only other Trigiani I've read. 7y

TNbookworm I enjoyed All the Stars in the Heavens. 7y

Cinfhen This was the sequel to Shoemaker @Reviewsbylola I think I bailed midway...

The Supreme Macaroni Company

Reviewsbylola I own that one but haven't read it. 7y

Bostonmomx2 I read the Meissner. All her books are so good (IMO). 7y

Jen_Reads I have All the Stars In the Heavens and haven‘t opened it yet, but it sounds really good. 7y

SilversReviews Nice!! LOVED Stars Over Sunset Boulevard. 7y
