I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara
4.0
Not your typical true crime read. It's part true crime, part memoir. Michelle McNamara's prose is humanizing in a genre that is loaded with facts. This book is the only one I've read in the true crime world that provides a voice for the online sleauth and truly helps explain why we are all so fascinated with the genre.
Theres a point that you get to where Michelle's writing stops and the partners on this load you down with facts and facets about the case. I felt a bit weighed down by the maps and I feel like it could have been wrapped up better and I skipped a few pages here and there to get back to Michelle's last writings.
