Page Turners Book Club | March 6 & 27

Join our Page Turners Book Club and enjoy lively book discussions with other eager readers! Our title selection for March is I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer by Michelle McNamara, a masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer — the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who committed fifty sexual assaults and ten murders in California during the 1970s and 1980s, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area.

Three decades later, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist, was determined to find the violent psychopath she called “the Golden State Killer.” Michelle pored over police reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the online communities that were as obsessed with the case as she was. I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is the masterpiece McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death, offering a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth.
