Let’s face it. While this week brings the Edgar Awards and Malice Domestic with the Agatha Awards, the biggest news in the crime world yesterday was the arrest of the suspect believed to be the “East Area Rapist” or the “Golden State Killer” in California. The attorneys are crediting DNA. Many of the true crime aficionados are crediting Michelle McNamara and her unrelenting investigation. The late journalist is the author of the bestseller, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. There are copies available in the Web Store. https://bit.ly/2r1lD6u
