I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you're a fan of true crime, this is an impressively researched piece of nonfiction. McNamara not only wrote the book about this particular serial rapist/killer, but she also assisted in solving the 40 year cold case before her untimely death. The details of the Golden State Killer, also know as the East Area Rapist and the Original Night Stalker, are truly gruesome and awful, but McNamara handles the subject matter with respect for the victims which can be a difficult task for the true crime genre. Again, I would recommend this book for true crime fans but the details of the Golden State Killer's crimes are completely awful and disturbing.
