This is such a conglomeration of conjecture and making pieces fit together that it’s so unlikely that it happened that it must be true that it did happen. I was waiting all through the book for one “nail in the coffin” and there just isn’t one. Disappointed that it really is conjecture and coincidence; disappointed in so many police/law enforcement officers being so lax and downright evil. I almost quit listening several times because there’s just nothing of consequence there-nothing substantial to build on. The crime itself was horrid but so was everything else in this story except Elizabeth Short who was shortchanged throughout the entire sequence of events.
