Green River, Running Red

De: Ann Rule

Narrado por: Barbara Caruso

In the most extraordinary journey 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 49 young women.

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 women 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 audiobook of Ann Rule's long career.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[C]onveys the emotional truth of the Green River case." ( Los Angeles Times)

"Riveting." ( People)

"Perhaps Rule's finest work." ( Statesman Journal)

Excellent story and narration

Anne Rule tells the stories of several of the young women who were removed from this world by the Green river monster before they had a chance to better their circumstances. Young people believe they're invincible and prositutes are no different. Gary Ridgeway deprived them of the opportunity to grow up and find other ways to make a living. I would like to say that I hope he can/does read the book, but I'm not sure it would matter at all. How could it matter to someone with no soul?

As a side, I'll look for more books narrated by Barbara Caruso.Great vocal pitch and intonation that doesn't need exaggeration to elicit our sympathy.

I didn't love it

The beginning of this book was very dry.. I found myself almost stopping and returning it several times. There was hours of back story which were not about the GRK's life. I guess I was expecting something more like The Stranger Beside Me. I was disappointed throughout the whole book.

Great book!

I liked this book every bit as much as The Stranger Beside me. Ann Rule really gives you a since of being part of the story.

Awesome True Crime Book

One of my favorite true crime books written by Ann Rule books on the Green River case.

All About the Girls

GRK story told through the victims.

It's always nice to read a long well researched true crime that revolves around the victims lives, movements, and disappearances instead of one focus on the killers movements.

I always find the girls' lives more fascinating and telling of the killers psyche than brutal descriptions of their violation.

If you're into that and books like Lost Girls by Robert Kolker you'll like this one

Slow getting started but then OMG

Where does Green River, Running Red rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

For true crime right near the top behind Manson

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

I live in Seattle

What about Barbara Caruso’s performance did you like?

She reminds me of Ann Rule I felt like Ann was talking to me

Any additional comments?

Love it.......It is a must listen.....Especially if you live in the NW

good

I like her books because they are true crime.. however they are drawn out to get every detail so sometimes I get a little bored but still continue to read

Very intriguing

A thorough account of a very sad and horrifying page in history. Ms. Rule gave compassion and honor to those who suffered (victims, families, authorities) during and after a killer's self absorbed rampage.

Simply terrifying

First off the story and history are incredibly captivating for a true crime book listener. Barbara Caruso’s delivery is about the best I have heard. I hung on every word both for content and execution. Highly recommended.

very interesting read. it was a little to detailed at points and i struggled to get passes a few chapters. the narrator seemed to have a hard time reading by her heavy breathing at parts. all in all a good book.
