Join us for a deep dive into the case of the Golden State Killer as we discuss Michelle McNamara’s book, “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.” Joined by special guest and true crime aficionado Stephanie, the Squad covers all of the juicy details of the GSK case, the unique approach McNamara took in blending true crime and memoir, and where our obsession with the true crime genre may stem from in the first place. Plus, we shit talk our least favorite audiobooks and get in some serious gushing about Paul Holes. Stick around ‘til the end for listener feedback on our Station Eleven episode, our elusive ‘Stuff We’re Into’ segment, and a little bit about our featured bookstore of the month, Books are Magic! PLEASE remember to rate, review, and subscribe to us on any and all of your podcatchers, and check out our blog for more of our incessant rambling. Our website is http://booksquadgoals.com, you can follow us on social media @booksquadgoals, and you can send any feedback to our email address, thesquad@booksquadgoals.com.
