I'll Be Gone in the Dark

One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer
Aug 05, 2018VaughanPLRachelP rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Michelle McNamara writes compassionately and intelligently about her independent search for the Golden State Killer. The subject matter is really, really difficult - as well it should be. I've read true crime accounts before, but McNamara manages to include details that drives home the brutality of this man's acts in just a few short words. Michelle passed away during the writing of this book, so her fellow researcher and a journalist colleague helped to assemble the finished product, and included other details about what Michelle would have liked to have completed before publishing her work. Everything not written by Michelle is indicated at the beginning of the chapter, and Michelle is such a gifted writer that the difference is apparent, but still well worth reading.
