Description
“I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” by Michelle McNamara is a gripping true crime book that explores the case of the Golden State Killer, a serial rapist and murderer who terrorized California in the 1970s and 1980s. McNamara, a journalist and amateur sleuth, became obsessed with the case and dedicated years of her life to investigating it. Tragically, she passed away before the book was completed, but her work was finished posthumously by her research team and her husband, the comedian Patton Oswalt.
The book not only recounts the chilling details of the crimes committed by the Golden State Killer but also delves into McNamara’s own journey as she becomes increasingly consumed by the case. Her writing is haunting and atmospheric, drawing readers into the hunt for a killer and the toll it takes on those who pursue justice. “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” is a compelling blend of true crime and memoir, offering a poignant and ultimately hopeful reflection on the power of perseverance and the human spirit.
