Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer by David Reichert
1.0
This is one of the all time worst true crime books I have ever read.
The author David Reichert was the lead detective on the Green River case for 21 years, and despite the shockingly high (49) number of victims, this a**hole STILL manages to make the story all about him and how great he is.
Oh! And how he's a victim too... *vomits*
Never have I read a more selfish account of a horrific case that widely affected so many.
It feels like the Green River Killer was the best thing to ever happen to Reichert who has probably been dining out on his involvement in this case ever since.
Any time he mentions criticism brought by any of the families, he disregards it and instead talks about how hurt HE feels by such critique.
Truly revolting piece of work.
If you want to learn about the Green River Killer, go and read Ann Rule's Green River Running Red instead and throw this one out the window.
