- rickweaverRating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Reviews: set in LA 1950s, excellent if you enjoy retros. Dark, non-fiction, about his mother’s unsolved murder.Quality: Nocturnes flows like music, Dark provocative, discomforting, fascinating insights
- kate_ward-1Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ashamed to say, that this was my first foray into the dark world of Ellroy. It won't be the last. Not all the stories are classics (some could be left out altogether) and without a reread I would be hard pushed to name a favourite. If, like me, you're yet to read the long acclaimed master of L. A. Noir, this is as good as any place to start.
