To be honest with you, I could never really get through his fiction because of his grating "patois"--I think the only novel I read all the way through was
The Black Dahlia. But I agree that
My Dark Places is superb. As you say, haunting. A must-read for anyone interested in Los Angeles noir. If I find that tour I made for myself, I'll let you know. But it seems you can have it directly from the source--apparently Ellroy gives his own tours. I found this as I was looking for the above picture:
