I enjoyed listening to Steve Hodel’s “BLACK DAHLIA AVENGER” and the author combs over lots of police evidence, news reports, eye witness accounts and provides the listener with the details behind this horrid murder.
If you’re not familiar with the crime, a woman with her child going to the store one afternoon in the late 1940s in Los Angeles, CA, came across a gruesome sight: a nude woman’s body was cut in half and displayed in a vacant lot. It was the body of Elizabeth Short and the body was completely drained of blood, her mouth was slit open at the corners giving her face a permanent grin. Autopsy reports revealed that she was tortured before she was murder and beaten about the head and face. To this day the case has not been solved.
Dr. George Hodel was a suspect in the crime and was the author’s father.
Anyway, there’s too much stuff to get into here so just listen to the audible version.
I knocked off one-star because Audible doesn’t provide you with additional downloads like pictures, diagrams, news clippings etc., that are described in the narration. I’m not sure if the physical book has those things in it but it should since the narrator refers to them during one chapter.
