Read by Gabra Zackman.
This book offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of the Golden State Killer, the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade. It is also a portrait of Michelle McNamara's obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth as she died in the middle of hunting the killer down.

A+ submitted by Judeyblu on July 4, 2018, 10:20am So NOW I will search out the current news stories to see how closely Michelle's suppositions matched what actually was true about this man.
It was both absorbing to read and a deeply moving experience to understand this was the last project before the author's death.
A very gifted writer... and it is clear that her work into a DNA database did, indeed, point the direction towards the way to catch this killer.

recommended submitted by shannonwait on August 9, 2018, 9:46pm Beautifully written and genuinely creepy. I liked that it had some moments that were like memoir and others that made you realize how terrifying living through this time would have been.

The narrator is great submitted by sushai on July 16, 2020, 10:10am I found the story compelling and well written. It was also a little bit dissatisfying because of the unfortunate death of the author before the crime was solved. A great glimpse into how investigations work when there is money available.
