Michelle McNamara's work to hunt down the Golden State Killer is exceptional. Her dedication to the work and her writing style make the book an engaging read that made me want to keep reading long into the night despite the content. The sections compiled after her death were done with so much respect for her and her work show how much she meant to her friends, loved ones, and colleagues.

I'm a fan of true crime podcasts, so I was excited to dive in when I found this 10-hour audiobook. It kept me company on many long trips and mindless hours of cleaning. McNamara and the others who wrote/edited this book did a great job of balancing information with sensitive subjects. Given the arrest of the GSK, I'm glad that I could listen to this book, find more information about the search for this criminal, and have the satisfaction of knowing that the story has a resolved ending.
