Another Wambaugh Hollywood police novel, with a mix of some believable and some not-so-believable cops, cons and dialog and situations. ( )

Haven't read this one yet. ( )

I feel like this is a perfect example of a book that works so much better as an audiobook. ( )

I have read a number of Wambaugh's books and Hollywood Crows doesn't disappoint. Wambaugh superbly blends humour, drama, tragedy and action into a well-paced story. I enjoy the way he develops the characters in each novel through dialog and action.
Hollywood Crows sees some L.A. cops knee deep in a double murder and suicide as a result of some poor choices. A really enjoyable read. ( )
