RaveThe Washington Post... has plenty to fascinate aficionados ... Readers who enjoyed I’ll Be Gone in the Dark will find his portrayal of the late Michelle McNamara touching. As a true crime writer, I particularly appreciated that he showcased all she added to the investigation. Folks in law enforcement are often reluctant to acknowledge the contributions of journalists and lay investigators, but Holes commends McNamara for collecting and sharing evidence ... is reminiscent at times of John Douglas’s Mindhunter ... may not be for those with queasy stomachs. Crime scenes are described in gory detail ... what sets this book apart is that it’s as much memoir as true crime.
