i was very disappointed in it as well (and i loved the LA
quartet). in my opinion, the few appealing characters
disappearing far too soon, and the story was too meandering
to hold my interest. it really has turned me off of ellroy--
i'm afraid to read anything new that he writes.
this may be a bit off-topic, but hard-boiled westerns were
briefly discussed here several months ago. as a result of
that discussion, i got joseph chadwick's TOWN TO TAME and
really enjoyed it. can anyone recommend anything else by
chadwick, or any other writers in the vein?
