Chateau Marmont explained. One of those magical places that live live on in people’s imaginations. It was especially interesting to read how the current version of it is based on the Legends of the past that never actually really happened.

Well, researched and entertaining, it keeps the tension. One of the better books of this type of historical fiction genre. It was just the temptation of too much stereotyping.
