Book Review: Gone at Midnight By Jake Anderson

The only reason I wouldn't give this a 5 star is because this author injected his own personal story into the alleged murder of this beautiful yet deeply flawed and mentally ill women. By doing such he did a great disservice to not only this family, but the victims, and survivors of not only mental illness but crimes of passion for which this appears to allegedly have become.

The way this began was fine when it focused solely upon Elisa, but for me the mid to later story took a turn and became more about the author's own struggles with depression, mental instability, behavioral and psychotic episodes such as bipolar, and left me wondering was that the original goal or was this to be comfort and healing for the original crime victim and her family?

It was creepy to say the least from the start.

The hotel in which she was found inside and face down in a water tank on a roof was not easily accessible and out of the beaten path.

What made her go there or did she go willingly?

What caused this woman to be so alarmed, anxious, and distraught on a video tape from the elevator in which was to be her last day?

Was that tape altered, what were the conspiracies, could they all be true?

There's so much left unanswered from the autopsy to the LAPD and the handling of the case that it truly feels like a cover up especially when you look at all the evidence.

I'm not sure why the author would go to a place that's so well known for 'suicides' and 'ghosts' but if it truly was for the sake of getting answers for the family that's fine but if for personal and selfish gains than that's were I have an issue.
