Excellent
This book had me hooked from the opening sentence and it was a change to have lots of info - generally a chapter each - about the victims of the Green River serial killer Gary Ridgway. So much information given well.

True crime
As a fan of true crime I was surprised that I had never heard of the Green river killer. A truly harrowing account of a vicious, pathetic, cowardly man. The book was slow to begin with, but picked up around the middle. good narration throughout. If you are interested in true crime you will enjoy this book.

Excellent listen
Hats off to Ann Rule for the respect and time spent on the important people surrounding the life of Gary Ridgeway, the victims. It's easy to focus on the killer in these books but you reminded us all that the real story is in the victims and devastation caused to their families. They are often forgotten and lost as the focus naturally falls on the heinous acts themselves, but you gave them a voice. Respect to you ma'am.

Gripping
Full of intricate details of the poor victims lives, and who they were. I love how much time Ann spends listing details of their lives, which were cruelly taken away. A very interesting and gripping insight into the monster that is GRK

Detailed and sympathetic to the victims
Having read a lot of true crime, I enjoyed how victim focused this book was. There was no mythologising the killer and instead focused on the impact his crimes had

Not for the faint-hearted
True crime writer Ann Rule tells the story of the Green River killer in this extraordinary book. Researching the case for more than twenty years, she later discovered the perpetrator had carried out many of his grisly crimes close to where she lived and had even attended her book signings. America’s most prolific serial killer is known to have murdered at least 49 women and evaded detection until he was caught in 2001. The author sifted through thousands of documents, police records and photographs to bring this harrowing tale to life, detailing the lives of the many victims, their stories and their deaths.
This is not a book for the faint-hearted – packed with gory details and scene-of-crime minutiae, Rule outlines how the police investigation team went through many permutations before they eventually apprehended the killer. At a time when DNA evidence was virtually unheard of, the Green River Task Force struggled to find links that might tie any of the victims to a particular person. Fighting the quirks and whims of political enthusiasm for the case, the detectives were often left with only a skeleton crew, and some members even followed up leads in their spare time.
This is a disturbing story of an apparently mild-mannered but deeply troubled individual and the trail of bodies he left across King County, Washington.
