Green River, Running Red

The Real Story of the Green River Killer--Americas Deadliest Serial Murderer

By: Ann Rule

Narrated by: Michele Pawk

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).©2004 Ann Rule; (P)2004 Simon & Schuster Inc.

Good

I really did enjoy her book. At first it was slow then it got better.

Like a car crash, gruesome, but u can't look away!

This was a well read and interesting audiobook. Having known nothing about the Green River Killer, it was very interesting! The style of unfurling who the killer was before and during his crimes was very good at getting 'into his head'.

If you like true crime, you will like this.

Ms. Rule does a great job, but I really wish that Audible offered more of her stories and in an unabriged format.

Boring

This was my first Ann Rule book. This book had no heart and the narration was lackluster to say the least. I will admit that I generally shy away from female narrated books because they are so boring and they don’t draw me in like other narrators do such as Kevin Pierce. Unfortunately this will be my last Ann Rule book.

lacked details

was hoping for more details on the murders and Gary. didn't enjoy her constant self compliments. overall, not bad but not amazing
