A Good Read on a Rainy Night

A fun - if one can say that about murder - selection of stories set along or near the famous Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. As the book progresses, we head from Sunset's origins at Union Station in downtown L.A. toward its terminus at the Pacific Ocean. Especially notable are Dale Furutani's "Extreme Prejudice," about more than one kind of "extreme" prejudice in Los Angeles' Silverlake district, "Three Killings and a Favor," by Joan Wates, about a hitman with a heart and a favor to spare, and Paul D. Marks' "L.A. Late @ Night," a story that uses Sunset Boulevard itself as a major character in a tale about a defense attorney's regret and redemption. The other stories vary in quality and in their use of Sunset, some hardly mentioning it, others giving it more time and space. But all in all a good collection for mystery lovers.
