If you're only vaguely familiar with this notorious killing that took place in New York during the 70s, this book offers quite a bit of insight into not only the victim but her killer as well.
And while the writer admits to using some necessary speculation on what lead up to the murder itself, it still doesn't make this any less of an interesting read.
It should also be noted that two films were made on the subject -- The 1977 theatrical release, LOOKING FOR MISTER GOODBAR starring Diane Keaton, and a subsequent TV movie starring George Segal that involved the police hunt afterwards. (I'm not sure if the latter is based on this particular novel itself.)

I can't describe how much I hated this book... It's nothing more than "counterfeit nostalgia", written by someone who never lived in the 80s and feel they know the decade by watching YouTube videos and choosing all the standard issue pop culture elements.
But what really makes this book crap is the fact that it actually encourages its audience to take shelter in a virtual reality and avoid the real world at all costs... If this is what millennials this then I weep for our future.
