I'll Be Gone in the Dark

emily_munro_2508 shared a tip "When I picked up this book I didn't know the back story of the author. Michelle has such a way with words, a pure genius. The only down side was this book left me wanting more by her. Even if you aren't into true crime or nonfiction, DO NOT PASS on this book! Perfect 10 out of 10!!"

ckay shared a tip "It was pretty good but I wouldn't read it again. That said, I don't usually read nonfiction stuff, so my thoughts on it are definitely biased by my reading preferences. 🙂"

elle_pea_5416 shared a tip "I was 3/4 of the through this book when the murderer was identified...sent chills up my spine. Very well written and informative book."

jennie_damron shared a tip "You could see the authors dedication to finding the killer throughout the entire book. The research she compiled was just incredible."

angi_woodbury_eder shared a tip "Part memoir, part true crime, this book weaves together history and the personal in a way rarely done well. It was a captivating read. Lock your doors, turn on the lights, and check on the kids before you start."

john_clewis shared a tip "I think it could be. Good topic/genre and I've heard good things. Before she passed away she was married to Patton Oswalt, a plus, in my book. 😊"

naomi_wilson shared a tip "Great read. Per investigation of this monster help lead them to his capture she even predicted that he might be captured through DNA testing and she was right amazing book if you’re into true crime and serial killers."

shantell_zdroik shared a tip "Such a great book, the writer/s did an amazing job. They go over the cases briefly in a respectable manner. They provided some of the files and a few maps. Highly reccomend"

Alive_in_Tx shared a tip "Michelle has a way of weaving her own daydreamy memories into the writing that makes for small breaks in between the feverish hunt that she was on all the way up to her last days on earth. I read this on the plane and during a trip to Northern California. While on my flight back I finished the book and it was announced the same day that the golden state killer had been caught. I’ve never had a more satisfying outcome at the end of a book."

lizzie_mac shared a tip "If it wasn't for this book, I don't think I would have had the guts to start writing and investigating true crime cases. This book is amazing and a true ode to Michelle."

sarah_burghart shared a tip "Yes. A lot of research went into it and it can be a little more detailed than the average crime story but I liked it very much. Too bad the author did not live to see the capture of the criminal."

kylie_scott_6835 shared a tip "My favorite book is always changing 😅 my favorite true crime book right now is I'll be gone in the dark but my favorite book I've read recently is Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore"

jaclyn_kidd shared a tip "I read Into the Water and the Last Thing He Told Me recently. The latter being a little slow to start. Both thrillers but not true crime!"

deetta_schey shared a tip "Incredible. Michelle’s writing, unmitigated doggedness and investigation cost her so much but gave back to so many others what the Golden State Killer took."

holly_b_2744 shared a tip "Michelle was GSK’s last victim, in my opinion.I thank everyone who pulled everything together to complete this book for us all.I hope her daughter will be just like her Mom.I read this book shortly before his arrest and the letter to him in the end gave me chills to read before and tears after."
