My Dark Places is a haunting, true crime story that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.

The most remarkable part of the book is Ellroy's honest and raw exploration of his own emotions and how his mother's death influenced his life. This book is for fans of true crime and memoirs who are not afraid to confront the darkest parts of humanity and themselves.
