5 stars, again, for getting me through my historical investigation! I also really liked the audiobook, very interesting. I definitely want to listen to some more true crime audiobooks

Listened to this book on audible. The narration was very cinematic and kept me engaged the whole time. My first book on true crime.

Very much like a podcast with the real people involved appearing. I got goosebumps when the victims and their families got the news that he'd been caught.

Listening to this book was definitely different for me with all the different voices. The story of the crimes and investigations was interesting and would have kept me reading. What made this book unique for me was knowing some of the victims were telling their stories. As difficult as that was to listen to, I could not stop. They deserve to be heard. I had chills more than once and tears stained my face. I wasn’t expecting to hear from them. I appreciated the end of the book, when we got to hear an update from them.
I found the investigation to be very interesting. These crimes were committed in the seventies and eighties. DNA evidence was just beginning to be widely used. I found it fascinating to hear how genealogy played a part in discovering who the Golden State Killer was. I appreciate the law enforcement members who worked so long on this case. It was easy to feel their frustration as time went on. I didn’t know very much about this criminal. Yes, I know his name. I prefer not to use it. I found the book to be gripping. I wI’ll be recommending it to my friends who like crime books.

After hours upon hours of podcasts detailing these crimes with no suspect in sight, and after I’ll Be Gone in the Dark’s chilling end that came so close (but not close enough) to pinpointing the Golden State Killer, this was the satisfying conclusion I needed. The eventual line of investigation that led to an arrest was even more complex and unprecedented than I was aware of. I expected this story to be more along the lines of ego stroking for Paul Holes and the other investigators, and there is a bit of that (not undeserved), but hearing the survivors tell their stories in their own voices was another level of intensity I didn’t expect. They are all heroes and I can’t wait to see DeAngelo rot in jail.
