The Wonderland Murders & the Secret History of Hollywood

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Michael Connelly

Publisher's summary

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!

Michael Connelly is the only one that who could have told this story

This podcast takes a hard look at Hollywood, the drug epidemic in the 70’s and 80’s and how so many people are involved in a single event. As a police officer in the time frame involved, I have learned the ins and outs of this case as only an insider can tell the story. Michael Connelly, with the expertise shared by law enforcement officers, took a hard look at all the players involved in this crime. He has been honest with the story that he has told. He has not sugar coated, nor has he exaggerated the facts….
Honored to have known many of the officers who were involved in this investigation. Their tireless work toward the truth is not unnoticed.
Thank you all for your efforts and participation in this pod cast.
Anxious for the next one….
