Murder in La-la Land
A Sisters in Crime Los Angeles anthology

Edited by Naomi Hiraham, Eric Stone, Juliet Blackad


       
This anthology includes 12 murderous stories by outstanding authors of the Sisters in Crime Los Angeles. There are famous Los Angeles sites from Golden Globes awards ( "Death is Golden" by Jude McGee) to the Los Angeles River ("Hobo Joe" by Terri Nolan) to the bygone black jazz clubs ( "Beethoven's Last Chorus" by Joe Macby). The characters include a detective who gets to communicate with the dead to street musicians to visions of vampires ("Continental Tilt" by Paul D Marks). These stories portray the underbelly of LA society beneath the surface mostly unseen by tourists.

This anthology presents famous Los Angeles sites as background for a variety of stories. Some are better than others but all are enjoyable to read. They have depth and are all well written giving a glimpse of the many facets of this city. All stories give a sense of the wackiness of Los Angeles and a look into the world of its diverse population.
