Summary
In this provocative and eye-opening classic of investigative journalism, the #1 New York Times bestselling author and “America’s best true-crime writer” (Kirkus Reviews), Ann Rule, explores the nearly twenty-year long search for America’s most prolific and horrifying serial killer.

In 1982, the body of Wendy Coffield is discovered floating near the sandy shore of Washington’s Green River. Authorities have no idea that this tragic and violent death is only the beginning of a string of murders that will rock and terrify the Seattle area for two decades.

With her signature riveting prose and in-depth research, Ann Rule takes us behind the scenes of the search for the Green River Killer, a terrifying specter who ritualistically killed young women and eluded authorities for years. From seeking the help of incarcerated serial killer Ted Bundy to Ann Rule’s horrifying realization that the killer she was writing about had attended her book signings, Green River, Running Red is the suspenseful and unforgettable “definitive narrative of the brutal and senseless crimes that haunted the Seattle area for decades” (Publishers Weekly).

Very informative. Interesting back stories of the victims.

Profile Avatar Stephanie M Aug 2017

The book was great... I live in the Pacific NW and moved from Arizona when I was 14 back in 1981 to Auburn - it was a scary time. I know the area very well (and met Gary) as my mom was his next door neighbor (where he and Judy put on a garage sale every weekend which was aggravating)... the only thing, and I mean insignificant, was the narrator's pronunciation of the cities and regions. Wish someone had coached her a bit, but her voice was solid and detailed. Would be a very tough job to do what Ann does.

Excellent! Never knew the details of what happened but I do now. The narrator was easy to listen to and kept me focused until the end.

THIS WAS A VERY GOOD BOOK, LOVE THE WAY IT WAS DONE.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

This is the only book I know of that treats all those dozens of victims as real people. The reader learns about each of the identified teenage girls and young women who were murdered by Gary Ridgeway. The book also includes the impact of Ridgeway's arrest on his unsuspecting wife. Ann Rule's book reveals the lives of the victims, many coming from sad or violent homes or parents who didn't understand the feelings and conflicts of their teenage daughters. Many of the young women victims also had sad life stories and were living in extreme poverty. The victims were not all prostitutes. Too many times they were seen as throwaway people by society and Ridgeway took advantage of that.

always a fan of Rule's examinations of killers. this was done so well!

Profile Avatar Alan P. May 2019

No mention of Ridgeway until the 40th chapter of the book. No insight or helpful background as to how such a monster could have been created. The author seemed so impressed with her own ability to write it really took away from what could have been the “go-to” reference on the conclusion of this sad story.

As always I am not disappointed by Ann Rules writing ability. The book held my attention and interest until the very end. I did not care for the narrator. She miss pronounced he names of the streets in San Diego and her voice was annoying but she did read well and kept a steady rhythm
