I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara. I’m a true crime fanatic like everyone else you know. I wanted to read it after I heard Michelle talk about her armchair detective work on Julie Klausner’s podcast. She was captivating.

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. I read the excerpt in the New Yorker and I didn’t sleep for 2 days. It’s about a serial killer who was murdering in my neighbourhood, when I was a kid. I had no idea this was happening at the time.
