May 27, 2024 Episode 61 - This One Has Murder!
Send us a text
We discuss Mallory's nonfic pick, I'll Be Gone In the Dark by Michelle McNamara. Be warned, this book and also podcast episode will contain mentions of murder, rape, stalking, and also just general assault. Despite this, I think this is likely one of the best true crime novels I've ever read. It is handled with care, respect, and does not glorify anything that happened, nor the murderer.
