I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara
5.0
A book published posthumously and a book of true crime for the 2018 Read Harder Challenge.
Michelle McNamara writes about the Golden State Killer, one of the most prolific serial killers in California's history, in such a brilliant and captivating way. Her thorough research and empathy for the victims and fellow investigators made this so much more than the typical true crime story. She was also honest about how all-consuming this investigation was in her life, which made this bittersweet. Finshing and publishing this book and the outcome of the case were a beautiful tribute to her legacy.
