Green River, Running Red: The Real Story of the Green River Killer - America's Deadliest Serial Murderer by Ann Rule
4.0
The Green River Killer was an extremely evil man who killed at least forty-eight young women in the 80s and possibly more after that. He evaded capture for over 20 years.
I feel like Ann Rule did a great job with this book by putting a lot of focus on the victims. There are photos of almost all of them and summaries of their lives. It is so sad to read about all these women that were taken solely for the pleasure of their killer and their families that had to wait so long for answers. This is a case that I didn't know a ton about and I learned a lot by reading this book. Because I am fascinated by how serial killers brains work, I do wish there had been a bit more of the over one hundred hours of interviews with the killer. This is still an interesting and well-researched book if you are interested in the Green River Killer.
I would say this one is essential reading for true crime fans.
