Is there any connection between the author, Janice Knowlton, who wrote a book about the Black Dahlia murder, and the Hosea Knowlton family of Lizzie Borden fame? (Okay, he was famous for other stuff, too ...

)

No, I don't believe there's any connection. The Elizabeth Short case is another great mystery.

Yes it is, it is another case I have been interested in for quite some time now. I do not buy Janice Knowlton's story that her "Daddy Was the Black Dahlia Killer" though. I have that book myself, along with Black Dahlia Avenger by Steve Hodel.

The book "Severed" is my favorite on the case.

The Janice Knowlton book description sounds ridiculous. I find it odd that she has any supporters, yet reading the 'customer reviews' on Amazon.com, she actually does have some. It's all based on repressed memories, right? She has no actual evidence?

"Severed" is the perfect title for a Dahlia book. I'll have to look that one up. Thanks for the tip.

I have never read the book severed. Is it interesting?
