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

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.5

While extremely informative, the book itself feels disjointed to me in how it lays out the chapters and information at times which I believe is just because McNamara wasn't able to finish the book herself unfortunately.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death, Rape, Sexual violence, Violence, Blood, Stalking, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail

Minor: Animal cruelty

It's a book about a serial killer, so it is graphic in nature. However, to me, McNamara is respectful of the victims, always using aliases to keep their privacy and never over describing the brutality while still being factual in what occurred, which is the most important aspect in a true crime book.
