I went in knowing nothing about the Golden State Killer. Very interesting. Even the parts about Michelle's life

Amazing work by McNamara, with years dedicated to research and writing. Without her efforts, the Golden State Killer would still be living freely. 
This book takes an informative and academic stance, so it may not appeal to all readers.

What an absolutely chilling read. I liked the range of material in here, from narrative histories, conversation transcripts, and photos, to descriptions of investigative technics and more memoir-style writing from the late Michelle McNamara.

Some of it felt a little dense, too slow-going, or muddled (though I appreciate this was a half-finished book, completed by others) at times but ultimately, a must-read for any true crime fans.
