The Yosemite Murders by Dennis McDougalMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
True crime books are always sad and unnerving, and The Yosemite Murders by Dennis Mcdougal is no exception. Carole Sund, Juli Sund, Silvina Pelosso and Joie Armstrong were victims of murder in Yosemite National Park during 1999. Dennis Mcdougal tells their stories and chronicles the investigation by California and Federal authorities in riveting detail.
I followed this case closely in the media as it unfolded, but it was not until I read this book that I took the time to reflect on the profound and lasting tragedy of these murders. The victims of this crime are not just those who were murdered. Their families, friends and those who knew them, as well as the perpetrator's family, are profiled, and the reader is given a real sense of the scope of these crimes.
