Interesting story and I was afraid it would leave it open ended! Just a bit anti climatic. Kind of a clinical book...

Maybe because this was written before the killer, Gary Ridgeway was apprehended, but I learnt more about the detectives than the crimes and killer.
A bit of a let down, really

I read the revised edition of this book earlier this year, where the addition of the identification of Ridgeway had been added.
This is an excellent book if you're interested in the in-depth details of the Green River investigation.

**2 stars**
If I had have researched this book, I never would have read it. It really was not what I was looking for in a Green River Killer book.
Time taken to read/ listen: 16 Days
I listened to this as an audiobook on Audible, and it is really not what I was looking for from a true crime book.
This book is split into several five parts. The first four sections of this book broke down the investigation into the Green River Killer based on who was in charge of the investigation; Book 1: Kraske (1982-83), Book 2: Adamson (1984-86), Book 3: Pompey (1986-87), and Book 4: Evans (1988-90). The last section of this book is an epilogue that was written several years after the book was originally published which looked at Gary Ridgeway's capture and prosecution.
My issue with the book, which is completely my own fault because I didn't do enough research before reading this one, was that it was originally published before Gary Ridgeway was even caught. The only mention of the actual killer was the epilogue. This book goes into very rich detail about the minute details of the investigation but you don't really get a sense of the killer.
Not the book for me but could work for someone else.

Very well written. It's amazing how the reporters seemed to pick up on crucial evidence that the investigators didn't. The graphic novel by Jeff Jensen called Green River Killer is a good companion to this book.

This was an excellent and well put together account of the investigation, and the audiobook has additional detail about Gary Ridgway's arrest which took place after the book originally came out.
I really liked the narration by Keith Sellon-Wright.

I was excited to read this book, as I am fascinated with this particular serial killer. But the descriptions of the Black victims are offensive and racist. You don’t say “a black” when you are referring to human beings. This type of language was used repeatedly and I’m disappointed that no one caught/stopped this before it went to print.
