Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

Evil Has a Name ★★★★★
I picked up this true crime story after finishing "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" and found that the two books complement each other well. This one has a nontraditional audiobook format, seeming more like a long-form radio or podcast with fantastic production quality. It combines the traditional narrative format with actual interviews with the investigators, victims, and families, along with audio clips from news programs of the day related to the Golden State Killer's crimes. Even the soundtrack and sound effects, normally annoyingly intrusive in an audiobook, are subtle and only enhance and support the storytelling.
Audiobook from Audible. Highly recommend.
