Críticas
Readable and convincing * The Times * I adored this book. It really does plunge the reader into the grime behind the glamour, bringing to gory life the moral repugnancy of a post-war Gomorrah known as LA. The reader is utterly transported - so close to the action that it felt as though I was riding in the squad car, watching the grotesque autopsies and taking knuckle-dusters to head from the Gangster Squad. As far as I'm concerned, it's case closed. Absolutely masterful. The perpetrator of whichever unsolved case Piu Eatwell tackles next should be very nervous. * David Mark, bestselling author * '[Eatwell] evokes the Los Angeles era in which the murder was committed with pinpoint accuracy and feeling . . . she meticulously draws together in her investigative web all the necessary threads and makes the affair clearer despite its inherent complexity. Probably the final book on the case and the best, as the author's exemplary research collects all available data and allows the reader to make his mind up. -- Maxim Jakubowski * CrimeTime * Eatwell's historical crime study is an expansive work that delves into the broader culture of post-war Los Angeles . . . her immersive style is filled with camera-ready period detail * New York Times * Piu Eatwell applies rigorous deductive reasoning . . . The characters she encounters are straight from the sets of film noir . . . She pursues her suspect to the nightmarish end, uncovering corruption of every kind, and offers a convincing solution. -- Lillian Pizzichini * Mail on Sunday * A meticulously researched work that is delivered with all the punch, pace and suspense of the finest noir thrillers . . . Eatwell never forgets the tragic figure at the heart of her story, while emphasising the callousness of the post-second World War era in which she was so brutally murdered' * The Irish Times * Written in a narrative style that evokes the smoky noir of LA in the 1940s, it's a gripping tale featuring a host of colourful characters - from hard-boiled cops and intrepid journalists to wannabe actresses and Hollywood gangsters. It was hard to put down. When I wasn't reading it, I found myself thinking about the Dahlia and her untimely death. After three years of painstaking research, she puts forward a compelling and convincing conclusion. It's a must-read. * Daily Record * Compulsively readable, impeccably researched and heart-rending at times, BLACK DAHLIA RED ROSE deserves a place at the top of any true crime aficionado's bookshelf . . . Superb * Sarah Lotz, author of The Three and The White Road * Eatwell writes brilliantly . . . After decades of cultural appropriation by journalists, novelists and film-makers, Eatwell has finally offered [Elizabeth] Short a type of belated justice. Her book reads like a thriller, but it never loses sight of the real woman whose life was so savagely extinguished' -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times * A compelling read, in both style and substance, and one which packs a heavyweight punch in terms of the evidence uncovered and the resolution offered. This is a comprehensive account of the sad and ultimately tragic life of Elizabeth Short, and the web of intrigue that surrounds her death is untangled here in fascinating and painstaking detail. A must-read for anyone with an interest in the Black Dahlia - or indeed any fan of the true-crime genre. * Rod Reynolds * A magnificent, meticulous and startling re-examination of a crime that haunts the world's imagination * Geoffrey Wansell, author of 'An Evil Love: The Life of Frederick West' *
