This book brought weekends of enjoyments into my life. My buddy, Peter McDonald and I would team up and go to all these murder sites. We had a blast. I think everyone who would like to see some unusual sites of Los Angeles at their own pace, should buy this book. trust me, you will have fun.

The Dearly Departed of Hollywood

I bought this book when I was in Hollywood. I love it. Very interesting facts and helpful maps. Pretty much accurate. I reccomend this book to anyone who is a "death hag".

An Excellent Guide to Hollywood's Sordid Past

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2002

This is a great guide for anyone who is interested in the scandals, murders, suicides and hauntings of the Los Angeles area. The information is detailed and accurate, and there are several maps which are good enough that even someone who is not familiar with the area can navigate easily. The book also contains maps to celebrity graves in many area cemetaries. This book is excellent for those who may be visiting LA and want to see some unusual sites; it is also interesting for people who have always lived in LA. Maybe you live next door to the house where Clara Bow "entertained" the entire USC football team and don't even know it! If you're not into the morbid stuff, the book also contains the locations of many sites used in TV and movies. I should also mention that I have found that this latest edition is only readily available from Amazon or directly from the author, so don't go looking for it in your local bookstore.

Dead Celebrities RULE!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2002

If you're headed to Hollywood and don't believe in corporate pre-determined tourist traps grab this book! Lots of cool places to visit that aren't owned/run by Universal, right down to the spot where Baretta made his last hit! Maybe you'll even see Huggy Bear. [...] Cool stuff.
