Reviews
"Both a vivid and meticulous investigation of a twisted predator who terrorized quiet, upper middle-class communities in California for nearly a decade, and a wrenching personal account from a writer who became consumed by her subject." -- Alexandra Alter, New York Times "Unputdownable.... Powerful." -- Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "This is a one sit-down read. That's how riveting it is. Very few writers have the skill to bring a decades-old cold case to life; in these pages, Michelle McNamara has not only successfully resuscitated the fascinating case of the Golden State Killer, but done so with humanity, insight, and grace." -- Michael Connelly "A singular, fascinating read. It's lifelike in its incompletion... a posthumous treasure that feels thrillingly alive. A-" -- Entertainment Weekly "What makes McNamara's work so compelling is her empathy and sensitivity toward the people touched by these crimes.... I wish I could read the next 10 books she would have written." -- Kate Tuttle, Los Angeles Times "What readers need to know--what makes this book so special--is that it deals with two obsessions, one light and one dark. The Golden State Killer is the dark half; Michelle McNamara's is the light half. It's a journey into two minds, one sick and disordered, the other intelligent and determined. I loved this book." -- Stephen King "Both a vivid and meticulous investigation of a twisted predator who terrorized quiet, upper middle-class communities in California for nearly a decade, and a wrenching personal account from a writer who became consumed by her subject." -- New York Times "Remarkable... The detective's nose for the crucial clue transmutes so easily into a novelist's eye for the concrete detail that conjures a memory or emotion. She applies the same gift to a handful of portraits of people affected by the killer's crimes.... These read like fragments from Raymond Carver stories, tales of ordinary lives fractured by incomprehensible violence. Had she lived, McNamara might have helped identify the man who committed that violence, but before she died, she did something nearly as miraculous: making them all live again in some small way." -- Laura Miller, Slate "This book just knocked me over." -- Megan Abbott "Utterly gripping." -- People "A powerful portrait of the scale of the Golden State Killer's crimes, of the mechanics of criminal investigations, of the strange particular dread and paranoia in the California in the 1970s, and of McNamara's own obsession with violent men, and this one violent man." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Breathtaking, ambitious, and exquisitely written." -- New York "Michelle McNamara was an obsessive. She was also a damn good writer. That combustive mix has produced I'll Be Gone in the Dark, a dark page-turner.... Scintillating." -- USA Today "That the book feels triumphant even after tragedy upon tragedy is a testament to McNamara's skill as a reporter." -- Esquire, "The 25 Best True Crime Books Every Person Should Read" "Narrative true crime journalism at its very finest, a complex, multilayered, chilling portrait of a faceless monster, and a remarkable tribute to the woman who, up until her last day, believed she would one day have him in her crosshairs." -- Village Voice "Any true crime project is basically a reckoning with death, but in this case, it's a reckoning that is no longer theoretical. McNamara is gone. And what's especially sad about her absence is just how good she was." -- The Portland Mercury "Remarkable.... A modern true crime classic." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Chilling.... Hard to put down." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "The work has many notable qualities -- in particular, a penetrating and elegiac voice." -- Seattle Times "Impressive." -- Booklist, starred review, A powerful portrait of the scale of the Golden State Killer's crimes, of the mechanics of criminal investigations, of the strange particular dread and paranoia in the California in the 1970s, and of McNamara's own obsession with violent men, and this one violent man., What makes McNamara's work so compelling is her empathy and sensitivity toward the people touched by these crimes.... I wish I could read the next 10 books she would have written.

Introduction by Gillian Flynn - Afterword by Patton Oswalt "A brilliant genre-buster. . . . Propulsive, can't-stop-now reading." --Stephen King For more than ten years, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south, where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. Then he disappeared, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area.

  • Golden State Killer Fascinating Story

    I followed this case and saw the documentary and wanted to read this book. I believe this author and her story helped to show how he was wanted and she helped to catch him even after she had passed away, because of her work and her book.

  • A quick read, for me a must have. RIP Michelle McNamara.

    A great page turner, facts, authors point of view. Historical events.

  • Michelle was pushing for non-criminal DNA testing to find the GSK & it worked!

    I really enjoyed her book. Michelle did push for regular DNA testing because the GSK was NOT in the criminal DNA database. She thought using something like an ancestry search site would help. Only the type of DNA the police had in their kits wasn't the type of DNA that needed to be submitted - saliva - something they didn't have. Going another route, the police DID submit a DNA sample to another site from the rape kit and got a 'hit'. GSK was a Type A, non secretor - only 2% of the population is like that. From the family-related 'hit' they got, they were able to narrow down family members who would be the right age. Found their man and got DNA directly obtained from his trash - Bingo! A match.

  • Excellent book

    Very detailed and informative. I was interested in the GSK way back when I first learned about the case. I bet that pos murdering rapist James DeAngelo read this book himself before he got caught, it is good and he would have been reliving the whole experience as being the GSK

  • True Crime at its finest

    Stunning writer. For true crime fans. Reminds me of In Cold Blood. All the details of a cold case. Absolutely tragic the writer didn't live to see the case finally resolved: after her death DNA targeted the serial killer. It was former police officer Joseph DeAngelo.
