I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK (Michelle McNamara) - August 12/20

 I think I have to accept that the true-crime genre just isn't for me. I enjoyed certain portions of this book, mostly when McNamara told personal stories about herself and some victims, but mostly I was bored by the emphasis on the minutiae of her investigation into the Golden State Killer. I would've been perfectly happy reading a 10 page version of this story. But it's well written and some stretches were admittedly pretty engrossing. **1/2 out of ****
