I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara

4.0

Darkly fascinating connections between crimes and frustrating deadends are the hallmarks of I'll be Gone in the Dark. The haunting, gripping, and detailed narrative follows the author, Michelle McNamara, as she attempts to recreate the path of the man she coins as the Golden State Killer in an attempt to find his identity. The audiobook narrator, Gabra Zackman, does an amazing job bringing Michelle's voice to life even after her death in 2016. The afterword by her husband Patton Oswalt was a fitting tribute to the woman who was driven to obsession and anxiety as she attempted to solve a seemingly unsolvable cold-case. Trigger warnings: Does contain detailed descriptions of crime scenes for murder and rape victims.
