Resumen del Editor

When veteran LAPD homicide detective Steve Hodel discovered that his own late father, Dr. George Hill Hodel, was the killer in the infamous Black Dahlia murder case, he wrote the best seller Black Dahlia Avenger, a book that convinced even the L.A. County Deputy District Attorney that George Hodel was responsible for Elizabeth Short's gruesome death.

As a veteran police investigator, Steve Hodel's instincts told him that if his father was capable of that level of cruelty, it probably didn't begin or end with the Black Dahlia. Steve Hodel has devoted his life to examining the evidence of his father's fascinating and mysterious life, and shocking new revelations that have come to light in the last five years are the subject of Most Evil.

If Steve Hodel's research is correct, Dr. George Hill Hodel was among the most prolific serial killers in history, beginning as a young man and continuing to kill throughout his long life of 91 years. Among his crimes are dozens of unsolved murder cases stretching back 60 years.

Most Evil compiles an astonishing amount of never-before-seen visual, circumstantial, and forensic evidence to prove Hodel's case. This relentless, compelling, and persuasive investigation will revolutionize the way we think about some of the most intriguing, brutal, unsolved, and previously unconnected murders in American history - and it may change our understanding of serial killers altogether.

Just Okay

I LOVED the Black Dahlia Avenger and was hoping for more of the same. The topic is pretty intense and I did not like the more theatrical performance of this narrator. I appreciated the theory regarding the Link to other notorious killers but largely a lot of the meat of this story was the same as the BDA.

Excellent!

Well written and concise! Amazing story. Authors evidence laid out beautifully. This writer has convinced me.

Steve is correct- his father was the Zodiac killer

I enjoyed listening to this book and learning food horrific details about those murders. I do hope Steve's desire to have the various investigators compared notes 2 determined was the Killer.

Pretty Good.

Another "Dad is the killer" investigation by Steve Hodel. I didn't dislike this book, but I didn't find it as intriguing as his first book regarding his father as the killer of Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia). I think the reason behind that is that much of the information background information is repeated in this book. Steve Hodel also has a tendency of telling you of an event in detail, and when referencing said event, will once again re-describe the entire event. It just seems to drag on a bit in those instances. As I said, not a bad read, not a great read, just a good interesting theory on unsolved crimes.

I struggled with this "investigation"

I found this account of his father's involvement to be less absolute than in BDA.

wow.

Easy to follow collection of circumstantial evidence presented with great care and probably pain, by the possible killers son.

This Seemed Like A Stretch

I love true crime and have followed a lot of diff theories for these cases and this just seemed like a massive stretch. His dad was def the Black Dahlia killer but the other ones seemed more circumstantial. It was interesting but I don’t know if I buy it.

Interesting and Informative read

I have read Waiting to darken by Founa Hodel, and read this book as a follow up. Both books are worth the read

gripping

a compelling co tinuation of the BDA. if you dont believe George Hodell was evil incarnate, you will after reading this.

Only one negative

The only problem I had with it is there were quite a bit of pictures referenced and I could not see what he was talking about
