Most Evil

Although Hodel presents some compelling evidence and coincidences, I'm not altogether convinced that his father was such a prolific serial killer (especially since I think that [a:Robert Graysmith 61248 Robert Graysmith http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] and company hit the Zodiac nail on the head). I feel as though this is a situation of a child (and detective, and author) wanting to explain away far too much, and to be too close to history.His book on the [b:Black Dahlia Avenger 21706 Black Dahlia Avenger A Genius for Murder Steve Hodel http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167323084s/21706.jpg 22805], though, seems to have struck a chord with people involved in the investigation (or amateur gumshoes interested in the case, at least), and seems to have been his excuse for writing this second book. It seems that the first is much more well researched, and I'm interested in reading it to see if any of the more puzzling assumptions and conclusions he has in Most Evil find their root in his treatise on the Black Dahlia murders.
