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

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense

5.0

This is the first true crime story I've ever read in full. In fact, I believe it is actually the first I've ever read, and I could hardly put it down. This is an intense and chilling read, and I am glad to know that the perpetrator has been arrested in the time since McNamara's account was published - just this year, in 2020. I hope that if there is some sort of afterlife, that Michelle knows how much of an impact her work had, and that the man she so doggedly pursued will never hurt anyone ever again.
