Ellroy Reads – 1980 by David Peace

May 4, 2025

For the latest episode of Ellroy Reads, I look at David Peace’s novel 1980. The third novel in Peace’s Red Riding Quartet series, 1980 is set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper murders and is one of Peace’s most powerful novels. I discuss some of the parallels between Peace and Ellroy’s work.

I hope you enjoy the episode, and please remember to subscribe, comment, share and like as this helps with YouTube’s algorithm.
