Blood Rush by Patricia Springer
4.0
dark informative medium-paced

 This book is about Ricky Lee Green and his wife Sharon, who were a murderous duo. They went on a rape, torture, and murder spree in 1985. This book has a lot of information straight from the horse's mouth, though Patricia Springer does interview several other people and has plenty of information from records. Some of the stuff that Green says doesn't add up to me, and I just do not feel like he was being entirely truthful. I do believe his story of abuse at the hands of his father, which was corroborated by his siblings. I believe that abuse could help explain his errant ways, though I am not sure it was the only reason like some people claim. I am also not entirely sure that I believe his wife was forced to participate instead of participating willingly, but some people are certainly brainwasher or pressed into doing things out of fear. This was a pretty good book. I really enjoyed it.
