1.0 out of 5 stars
Riddled with inaccuracies...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder at Yosemite (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)
Sorry, this quickie book leaves so much to be desired. "MAY" is another example of the evil quickie true crime book that does a disservice to the readers of this genre. Terrible research, incorrect information, and psuedo-pop psychology from the author detract from this tragic tale of four slain innocent women. It's hard to support a book that cannot get even the most basic facts correct: for example Steven and Cary Stayner lived on "Bette Street" not "Betty" and Joie Armstrong's murder date is listed with two different dates---despicable. For a more thorough, much better written, and accurate outlook on this truly fascinating story I was much, much more pleased with Dennis McDougal's "The Yosemite Murders." Plus McDougal is not afraid to take on the FBI who bungled this case, while Smith comes across like a FEEB lapdog.

A bit dull,
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder at Yosemite (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)
Cary Stayner's poor excuse for turning into a murderer is that he was in the shadow of his younger brother (who was kidnapped as a boy)??? If standing in the shadow of a sibling is reason to become a murderer then half the country would be out there killing people. The writer gives a very tabloid type of read. There is nothing substantial to the book. John Walsh gave a chapter in one of his books to this story and I remember him describing the room that the three women stayed in. It was described so chillingly that I got goosebumps.

1.0 out of 5 stars
poor and poorer,
By Jennifer (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder at Yosemite (St. Martin's True Crime Library) (Mass Market Paperback)
Unfortunately, I probably read more information and had more insight on this crime having read the local paper. Not only was the editing poor but the whole story lacked any substance. Too bad! I love true crime but after this I won't buy any books by this author. Sorry! Don't waste your money.
