What made me pick it up: True crime will always be a guilty pleasure of mine.
Overall rating: It's obviously hard to rate a book that's written based on true happenings. The author isn't creating a character and storyline, rather, they are using their gift to give you the details of the character and storyline that experienced the happenings. I feel like McNamara, and those supporting McNamara after their passing, did a great job gathering data, compiling a succinct but detailed telling of the Golden State Killer story, and packaging it in a credible, fact-based way while still making it interesting to take in as a book.
Reader's Note: It should be obvious with the subject of the book, but 'I'll Be Gone in the Dark' includes intense descriptions of rape, murder, stalking, and assault. There are also medical descriptions of the victims, the Golden State Killer's physical attributes including genitalia, and in-depth descriptions of what victims were put through.
