Readers feel immersed into the lives of the victims and witnesses, immersed into the bars and other locations of the action, and fully immersed into the investigations while reading Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York by Elon Green. True Crime readers appreciate the author's attention to detail concerning the crimes, as well as the background information that included the attitudes and societal expectations which contributed to the atmosphere at that time. Green's writing style, the perfect balance between investigative reporting and master storytelling, guides the reader through each crime and famiarizes the reader with all the individuals involved. With a case that crossed several jurisdictions, Green raises awareness about the gay community and the treatment of gay individuals during the AIDS epidemic, and the high cost of anti-gay sentiments.
