Review of Defending Gary: Unraveling the Mind of the Green River Killer (Paperback)

Well written book.Authors had a good understanding of Gary Ridgway and yet did not lose caring about those whose lives were ended or forever changed by his behavior.By reading this book, it became clear to me that Gary Ridgway was a person who had no ability to perceive his victims as real people.Those who cared for the victims are desperate for bits of information about what happened to them.Gary doesn't know--he killed them and dumped their bodies and that's all he knows.This book gives a good understanding of the grueling months of trying to gather information and find bodies and the toll it took on all involved.I would have preferred a little less of the verbatim interviews with Gary--the book was overly long.I also didn't see the relevance of all the information about the Prothero family and their swimming skill.All in all, however, this book is recommended to those who are still trying to understand these murders which were so horrific for so many.
