Anti-climactic close to the Kerney Family Trilogy

Very little action, lots of sappy, everyday 20th century southwestern life experiences. It was free to members but paled in comparison to the first two novels in the series. Disappointing lack of a major conflict in the plot makes for a kind of soap opera that drags on with little direction until it just ends.

Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash. The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle

Charming, but not Enchanting

Got this book because there was a 2 for 1 deal going on ‘select books’ and the synopsis sounded interesting. First time reading James Ellroy and the style was a bit of an acquired taste. Did come to enjoy it and the narrator’s delivery was awesome. Content was a bit trashy at times but I believe that to be part of what he was going for in this late 50’s-early 60’s era noir gumshoe. Fred Otash, the real-life notorious alcoholic pill-junky ex-cop turned private eye protagonist/narrator, will not be everybody’s bag. But then again, I also think that might have been part of what the author was going for. The book had a lot of character, and even more characters. In brief, what it lacked in exciting plot it made up for in whit. I’m certainly going to check out more of James Ellroy’s books.
