The book starts out, imo, quite slow and then erupts into nightmare.
The main thing about it is that the Dahlia's murder is really the background for the story about the relationship between the cops and their respective obsessions and the prices they pay for them.
I am actually re-reading it now prior to the film opening here.
Ellroy's style has tightened over the years into a staccatto almost machine gun rattle of patois and invective.
His books are absolutely jam packed with dialogue and thought.
Until I recently learned of the changes to his life over the last couple of years, I seriously doubted he would write another book.
