The Wonderland Murders & the Secret History of Hollywood

De: Michael Connelly

Narrado por: Michael Connelly

Resumen del Editor

In this documentary podcast, best-selling crime novelist Michael Connelly returns to his roots in journalism and examines the Wonderland Murders, an iconic and brutal mass murder in a city known for its murders. Named for the street in Laurel Canyon where the murders took place inside the house of a small-time drug gang, it’s a gruesome crime that reflected its time, disrupted a mythology and tells a broader story of Los Angeles, the American dream machine, and when justice does - and doesn’t - work. And for the first time, the podcast accesses never revealed records and exclusive interviews with investigators, prosecutors and a notorious, “missing” witness who puts all the pieces together.

Very Interesting and Well Done

I'm a huge fan of Michael Connelly, and I had listened to his previous true crime podcast Murder Book, so this was a must listen for me. I hadn't heard too much beyond peripheral stories about this case, so it a very interesting case and the podcast is really well done and good information and interviews. I certainly recommend it.

I love it all~

This is great. I love seedy Hollywood stories, and this true crime podcast really fits the bill. I've been a Michael Connelly fan for ages, and his growly voice just adds dimension to The Wonderland Murders, like you're sitting across from him in the back of a dark bar listening to him talk.
Hearing from the people involved with law enforcement at the time and this case in particular makes this listen even more interesting and enjoyable. Just finished Ep5; on the edge of my seat waiting for Ep6 to come out!

Favorite

I’ve read and enjoyed many Michael Connelly audiobooks. This is my favorite probably because of Connelly’s personal narration.

Quite informative

So interesting! I loved Michael Connelly’s investigative work! Great listen! Thanks Mr. Connelly, cant wait to hear your next one.

Error in location description.

Not a review, but a correction of fact. The Manson murders were NOT in Beverly Glen; Cielo Dr. is in Benedict Canyon.

Great Narration! Hard-boiled story of the grimy LA

This is really interesting; narrated in a cool, matter -of -fact manner that lets the events stand in their own very dark drama. Great job, Michael Connelly. The idea of podcasts left me cold: never thought they could be so captivating. This has the grit and grime of hard-boiled fiction with the polished delivery of film noir. Very varied sources bring a wide mix of voices and insights to the various scenes and players. Obviously very deeply researched. Just one former undercover policewoman's inclusion solely to describe Eddie Nash's manner and hygiene (spoiler alert: not so good) in a brief encounter with the sleazebag in his element paints him so vividly.

Superb

An outstanding, comprehensive documentary thru which I learned much. While I had heard of the Wonderland Murders, my impression was it was merely a drug deal gone wrong…Connolly’s take on this case is so through and included the historical components of the time. Truly enjoyed this documentary & recommend it highly. Wonderful, insightful interviews with key players in the case. So impactful hearing it from those involved with this case.I’m now looking forward to listening to Connolly’s other podcasts.

Awesom Presentation

I love Michael Connelly's presentation of facts. His story lines all explored, recorded & gathered in the most succint arrangement.

captivating

this incident was two years before I was born, and it is captivating to hear it told in such great detail.
