In this provocative and eye-opening classic of investigative journalism, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ann Rule, explores the nearly twenty-year long search for America’s most prolific and horrifying serial killer.

On July 15, 1982, eighteen-year-old Wendy Coffield's body is found 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).

In a just world, Gary Ridgway would've been caught many years earlier. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Barbara Caruso does a great job narrating, but there is some fluff that could've been omitted. In any case, a shocking, yet fascinating account of one of America's most prolific serial killers.

Narrator makes for a fascinating account

Ann Rule writes with intelligence and compassion about the victims, their families and the police investigation. The backgrounds she gives on the victims and the Green River Killer himself and their respective upbringings is detailed and well researched. A gruesome but interesting read.

An Engaging, In-Depth and Unflinching Account

Good story if you can hang in there the author is all over the place . Some victims more than others gets her going she just woffles on about some and others only get 3 lines of talk time. Not sure why she wrote the book like this for as much could have been omitted. I should have got the unabridged version .

More could have been said about investigation and what went on but I'm no author or at least don't claim to be.

The author has her favourite victims for sure.

Had periods where I didn’t think I’d make the end, it’s a few hours longer than it needs to be. Still a crazy story and an interesting listen mostly.

Wild story but too long

lots of info regarding families and the victims, sometimes hard to keep up with names but important as to be respectful of the victims and making them individuals and not just numbers

another good ann rule
