I've lived in L.A. My entire life and half of these stories I did not know happened. It was a great book and it gave me chills!

Was very interesting. Found out some people's deaths are still questionable but cannot be proven to not be suicides. If you are into True Crime and/or Tragedies in Hollywood then this is the book for you. And even for you cemetery lovers ,there is a section about famous Hollywood grave sites as well. A truly captivating book.

I can see why this is out of print and so hard to come by! I got my copy through a contest Corey did to drum up interest etc. for the release of Pure Murder. He sent me a copy of this book, a galley of Pure Murder, a copy of Pure Murder, and then had me send all the other books I had read of his for the contest to him and he sent it all back signed! Anyway, getting back to this book, I am a huge snoop and love to learn about crime scenes. This book is awesome! It talks about cases still contended today! I am one that if I am in tha area of a high profile case, I'll go check out the actual sites. I have pictures of Jon Benet Ramsey's resting place... It's in a beautifully well hidden place. If you are like me, you will LOVE this book!

I love true crime and love biographies...this put the two together in such an intriguing manor. Made you want to travel to the scenes to check them out yourself afterward.
