3.5
⁕ A lot of true crimes focus on the gravity of the culprit's actions. McNamara places more emphasis on the lives of the survivors and victims, as well as the experiences of those trying to hunt down the Golden State Killer. It was a fresh perspective to the true crime genre and a more empowering narrative for all those affected, which I very much appreciated.
⁕ McNamara was unable to finish the book before her passing. The final chapters were completed by her husband and fellow researchers. The change in narrative from a memoir-type recounting to a detailed analysis of maps, numbers, and charts is very abrupt and jarring.
⁕ I read the updated version of the book, which was published after the capture of the Joseph DeAngelo, and there is surprisingly little detail on how he was finally arrested. If this is something that interests you, I recommend also watching the HBO documentary series which has much more information in that regard.
