I should have bailed but I always get caught up in the “how will it end?!” drama; by the time the end was in site, I was at risk of eyeball injury and annoyed with the inconsistency and repetition. #May2025 Book41

Kudos for multiple strong female characters.

I love reading about notable women whose accomplishments are not as well known now. If you‘re looking to read about a mafia trial this is not that — that case is only a small part of the book. The rest of it is about a Black woman who became an attorney when that was rare and it covers her full life. It‘s by her grandson but he doesn‘t lionize her; her flaws are on view. It also has an added element of family lore vs public record.

When a little bookstore stamp sends you down the rabbit hole ! https://laist.com/news/la-history/stanley-rose-bookstore-literary-las-hottest-sp...

LoverOfLearning Oh yes! Love this! I'd be doing all the research too! 4mo
Ruthiella Thanks for the link. What a great, and kind of classic but melancholic LA trajectory. The Big Sleep is the only Chandler I‘ve read so far but I vividly remember the bookstore scene. 4mo

Not just about the Mob, but about the infamous outlaws of the depression era. If you‘re a fan of mafia movies, you‘ll like this. Quick read overview histories.
