ladyk23 's review for:
Evil Has a Name: The Untold Story of the Golden State Killer Investigation
by Paul Holes, Paul Holes, Peter McDonnell, Jim Clemente
It makes perfect sense that Paul Holes would have written his version of events in the telling of this now rather famous story, but until I saw this "book" for sale on Audible I had no idea it existed. I say "book" because it's more like a podcast or series really, and is broken down into bitesized episodes. However, I loved every minute of it so please don't take this as a bad thing. It really wasn't in my eyes. I only mention it because I've seen other reviews where people were disappointed that they used one of their monthly Audible credits on what is essentially not a book. How anyone could be disappointed after listening to this is beyond me.
Not only is this written by Holes, it's narrated by him too. He's just such a cool dude. The way he talks about this case has you hooked in seconds. How he came to be on the case in the first place, which was already long cold by the time he took over, how much of his own time he dedicated to finding this guy, how important it became for him. It made me think of the line in Zodiac where Jake Gyllenhaal's Robert Graysmith says "I need to know who he is. I need to stand there, I need to look him in the eye and I need to know that it's him." This is how Paul Holes felt about the GSK. But unlike Graysmith, Holes actually got to do this, and not only this, he got to put the guy behind bars for the rest of his life.
If you have any interest in the Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist/Original Nightstalker/Vasalia Ransacker case, any at all, firstly I recommend you read or listen to I'll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara (because holy wow what a book), but then I recommend you listen to this. You won't regret it.
