I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara, is certainly an interesting work, but a few things hold this book back.
Unfortunately, Ms. McNamara died before completing it; so, parts are done, while others are taken from notes, still others from articles she wrote in other places. The latter half of the book was writen by others. So what we get is a disjointed account of the Golden State killer’s crimes. I learned more from a brief documentary of these crimes than this book.
No doubt this would have been a far better book had the author lived. Her writing is clear and interesting and no doubt she could have completed accomplished work.
