The Search for the Green River Killer by Tomas Guillen, Carlton Smith
2.0
**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.
