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

dark informative mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. It's well written and leaves enough mystery behind to really keep you invested. Just when you think the elusive Golden State Killer is caught, something doesn't quite add up. This book was an interesting insight into the forensic investigation of crimes, as well as the life and dedication of Michelle McNamara. Her research and personal experience being intertwined with the story of a killer and rapist was interesting and gave the book a much more personal feel. Although in the end we never do find out who the killer is, this information is now publicly available. It's tragic that McNamara did not survive to see her life's mission fulfilled, but the Golden State Killer has been brought to justice once and for all.
