Reddit mentions of Hot Prowl

Thank her for what? She didn't do anything other than write a book on the case that was filled with info that's been around for years.

There are also other people that wrote books about the case much better than she did, two of them being detectives that worked on the case:

• Case Files of the East Area Rapist / Golden State Killer by Kat Winters and Keith Komos
  
• Hot Prowl by Jack Gray
  
• Sudden Terror by Larry Crompton
  
• Hunting A Psychopath: The East Area Rapist / Original Night Stalker Investigation - The Original Investigator Speaks Out by Richard Shelby
  
  Michelle McNamara had nothing to do with solving the case, yet for some strange reason certain people seem to think that it wouldn't have been solved without her. Or course that's just ridiculous because she had nothing to do with investigating or solving it. But now I almost can't read any article about earons with out her name being mentioned even though she had nothing to do with the case.
  
  The only people that deserve a thank you in this case are the police that finally solved it.
