Mehso-so

Full disclosure: I didn't finish this audio before I had to give it back to the library. Made it about 80% through. The fact that I didn't recheck says something though.

This was interesting. Gave a nice snapshot of crime and cops in LA from the 30's through 50's. My main complaint was that it jumped around so much in time and which people it was following. The narrative was thus so disjointed I had trouble keeping people and timelines straight.
