Green River, Running Red by Ann Rule Book Summary

In the most extraordinary book Ann Rule has ever undertaken, America's master of true crime has spent more than two decades researching the story of the Green River Killer, who murdered more than forty-nine young women. The quest to discover the most prolific serial killer in American history has been an intimate part of Ann Rule's life, with some of the corpses found only a mile or so from where she lived and raised her own daughters. She did not know the killer, but he apparently knew her and attended many of her book signings.
For twenty-one years, the killer carried out his self-described "career" as a killing machine, ridding the world of women he considered evil. His eerie ability to lure his victims to their deaths and hide their bodies made him far more dangerous than any infamous multiple murderer in the annals of crime.
A few men -- including a law student, a truck painter, and a taxi driver -- eventually emerged as the prime suspects among an unprecedented forty thousand scrutinized by the Green River Task Force. Still, there was no physical evidence linking any of them to the murders until 2001, when investigators used a new DNA process on a saliva sample they had preserved since 1987, with stunning results.
Ann Rule has followed the case since July 1982, when the first body -- that of teenager Wendy Lee Coffield -- was found in the Green River, snagged on pilings under a bridge. Rule has compiled voluminous files, working through an incredible 95,000 pages of official police records, transcripts, photographs, and maps, winnowing out the chaff and identifying what is truly important. Over the years, she gained unparalleled access to all the key players -- from King County Sheriff Dave Reichert to those close to the killer and his victims.
When finally apprehended and convicted, the killer made a detailed confession -- of his twisted sexual obsessions -- that will shock even the most jaded reader. Green River, Running Red is a harrowing account of a modern monster, a killer who walked among us undetected. It is also the story of his quarry -- of who these young girls were, and who they might have become. A chilling look at the darkest side of human nature, this is the most important and most personal book of Ann Rule's long career.

GREAT RESEARCH ON THIS CASE. ANNE IS NOT THE BEST WRITER IN THE WIRKD BUT THIS BOOK WAS A GREAT READ DUE TO HER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS CASE. SHE TELLS THE STORY OF THE GREEN RIVER KILLER THROUGH HIS VICTIMS. IF YOU ARE A TRUE CRIME FAN YOU WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK.

One of Rule's Best. Everything about this unimaginable killing spree handled exactly as it should have been. Ann Rule provides the proper respect deserved to the victims, families and detectives. This book is hard to put down and impossible to quit because it does not waste anytime on politics and reminds us that evil is never justified and must always be hunted and stopped. Thank you for never blaming the victims nor their families and for supporting law enforcement.

Love her!!. Great book! I've yet to find one of her books that I DON'T like!!

Green River. It is a long read but worth it. Ann rule has a way to bring to life all the personalities in an event that has happened over a period of time. She has a unique way of moving back and forth between the victims and the killers own history. It was interesting to see how her life was a part of this very long investigation. I loved her honesty about herself. This is a book worth buying.

Not good. After slogging though about half of this book I am giving up. How she made this story boring is beyond me but she managed to do it. Do no waste your money.

Great read. Great read, great writer, highly recommend for avid true crime readers.

Green River. Highly recommend read.

Green River Running Red. Chilling to find that such a person managed or rather juggled so much horror against what appeared a normal life working full time, as well as keeping a wife & child, in what on the outside appeared to have a normal existence for over two decades before being caught, mostly due to the advances in forensics. More chilling is would he have ever been caught if not for determined & pain staking recording of information by many individuals involved in taskforce, as originally he seemed a most unlikely suspect.

Green River Running Red. Anne Rule is an excellent writer. The story is horrific and disturbing but is so very interesting. I found it hard to put the book down.

A must read for those into true crime. Well written, and well researched, this book covered more than 20 years work with the author following the case for that whole period of time - that's dedication! If you are after a true crime read that lays bare the reality of a serial killer while still maintaining dignity and respect for the victims, this book is definitely worth a read.
