"Prostitution is a profession born of desperation, poverty, alienation and loneliness."Ann Rule covers one of the most profilic serial killers in American history - a case involving more than forty-nine female victims and spanning over two decades of intense investigative work.Well, this one was a mixed bag. It's very clear from the beginning that Rule tries to use this novel as a way of humanising all of the Green River Killer's victims. With the introduction of each victim, there is a smallAnd apparently the other thing I needed to be reading while studying for finals was a book about the man who raped and strangled (and often strangled and raped) over fifty women in Washington State. This is an utterly fascinating story, unfortunately packaged by an annoying true crime author. I wanted to read about Gary Ridgeway not because hes a killer, but because hes such an odd specimen. I mean, from a profiling standpoint, he just doesnt make sense. He was married happily for twenty years
A very thorough and very interesting telling of the events surrounding the investigation of the Green River Killer. I did not know much about the Green River Killer - other than he committed a series of murders in Washington back in the 80s. Since I knew so little, this was a suspenseful whodunit? for me.The book is not easy to read if the horrific details of crimes make you queasy. It was shocking to read about what one human can do to another human because they think they are "doing the right
This review can also be found here!TW: serial murders and mentions of strangulation, dismemberment, and necrophilia (although not in graphic detail)Never in my life did I ever think Id put the word necrophilia on this blog, but here we are today. Welcome to talking about true crime and serial killers. Today, its Gary Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer.He was active from 1982 to 1988 (but its speculated he could have killed up to his capture) and confessed to killing 71 women. He was
My wife thinks there is something seriously wrong with me deep inside because of my great love of true crime, in particular serial killers. But what does she know? She likes the Eddie Murphy single Party All the Time.The body count here is staggering, Green River Killer Gary Ridgway exposing Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Joseph James DeAngelo, Richard Ramirez, the Hillside Stranglers, and the Zodiac Killer as mere pikers after being convicted of murdering 49 women. And who knows if that number is
This is an excellent account of the Green River Killer's reign of terror, from the discovery of Wendy Lee Coffield's body in 1982 to his long, gruesome interviews with detectives as part of his plea bargain in 2003. Rule, as a famous true crime writer living in the south Seattle area, found herself a part of the story even as she was trying to prepare to write about it (to a lesser degree than happened with Ted Bundy, but I'm sure the coincidence was horrific for her), and I think part of what
This doesn't read a like a suspense thriller, so if you are looking for that, you may want to skip this true crime non-fiction book. There is a lot of biography for the unfortunates girls strangled by this horrible serial killer. You get to know many of them and it tears your heart out. Although, I'm glad they finally found the killer, I'm sorry it took so long.
