- One of the many tragic things about this book is that some of it
had to be completed after the author's death. It's pretty clear
which parts these are, but what were the main differences of the
narrative style between the writers? What do you imagine being the
challenges of writing in someone else's voice?
- McNamara diverts from writing solely about serial killers and
rapists to give a more personal narrative. Did you find this to be a
nice respite or just a distraction from the good stuff?
- Some of the descriptions of the attacks were pretty difficult to
read. Did you find these parts more or less upsetting than consuming
similar content via television or podcast?
- Did you find yourself behaving differently after reading how
some of these attacks occurred - perhaps by being more
observant/nervous? How did McNamara's behavior change while
researching the Golden State Killer?
- Had you heard of the East Area Rapist or the Golden State Killer
before reading
this
book?
If so, did this change your perspective at all?
- McNamara goes back and forth in the
timeline of the attacks - what purpose did this serve in her
storytelling? Did you mind it?
- If the Golden State Killer was still active today, would he be
caught? How do you envision it going down?
- Will he be caught? Is he alive? Whaddya think?
- Why are people so fascinated with true crime? Are you interested
in the genre? If so, do you ever feel guilty or strange about it?
