THE NEW YORK TIMES #1 BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2018
The masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer – the serial rapist turned murderer who terrorised California for over a decade – from the late Michelle McNamara.
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark offers a unique snapshot of suburban West Coast America in the 1980s, and a chilling account of the wreckage left behind by a criminal mastermind. It is also a portrait of one woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth, three decades later, in spite of the personal cost.
Updated with material which takes in the extraordinary events that followed its initial publication, Michelle McNamara’s first and last book is a contemporary classic – humane, haunting and heroic.

We meet on the on third Tuesday, of every month, at Shevington Library. We like to tackle all sorts of literature, fiction and non- fiction and we follow it up with discussions of our likes and dislikes about the book. We are friendly and open to new members. Come along and Join us. On our last meeting we read the featured book, "I'll be gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara"
Here are some thoughts from a member of our group about this book..
“I Enjoyed the book and admired this authors perseverance as a crime solver and her skill in bringing 1980’s West Coast America to life and continuing the story to the present day. Her style was very engaging and the pace was good. I loved the epilogue written to the killer.
Part 3 of the book, written by Paul Haynes and Riley Jensen after Michelle McNamara’s death, must have been difficult to write, but I’m afraid it failed to grip me. I ended up Internet sourcing details concerning Michelle’s death. I would certainly recommend this book to a friend and would like to read anything written by Michelle.”
