its a shame mcnamara died so soon. not only because she left her husband and child behind, or because the golden state killer was identified, or because she didnt finish this book. her writing is outstanding and she deserved a full, capote level career. reading the finished chapters next to the unfinished chapters that were edited after her death makes her talent clear. its a crime that this was the only book she wrote, and she didnt even finish it. im sure it wouldve been double the length if she got to finish it, and if she was still alive she would have pieced all of deangelos life with the GSK’s timeline. anyway thats what i really want now — like he was a COP! how is that not the main center of attention in the afterwords. anyway so now im gonna go snooping the internet looking for how the puzzle pieces fit together. i wish mcnamara got to do that herself
