My book is the “Yosemite Murders” by Dennis McDougal containing a total of 354 pages and is a complete suspense book. This book contains a lot of history and information that might get boring at first but in the end you’ll notice that it’s all worth it. You’ll feel like a true investigator as the book leads you through it’s journey to try and figure out who the killer is. Bringing you multiple emotions at once and leaving you on the edge to read more. The crimes that were committed grabbed headlines around the world and stunned America. Four women dead, their bodies charred and horribly mutilated. 42 year old mother (Carole Sund), has taken her daughter (Juli Sund) and a family friend (Silvina Pelossa) to Yosemite as an end to their 3 month trip of being together. Silvina was to be going home back to her family in Argentina within the next day of being in Yosemite. They had been staying at the Cedar Lodge in El Portal and had been last seen within the Cedar Lodge restaurant, leaving their room completely undisturbed. Within the next month of searching for the victims, Juli Sund and Silvina had been found inside a truck, burned beyond recognition and completely charred. Six days later, the FBI received an anonymous letter, with a crudely drawn map and a message. Following the map, searchers found Juli Sund. FBI agents had rounded up bunch of meth-heads and sex offenders, some from Modesto, others who worked at the Cedar Lodge, and assured the frightened tourists and residents of the area they were confident they had the "TourNap" killers in custody. But the FBI’s confidence of catching the killer evaporated on July 22, with the disappearance of another woman, Joie Ruth Armstrong found in a drainage ditch. The killer was in front of the police this whole time.
This seems like a very interesting book, they way you describe the plot and minor details without giving away too much really drew me in. Might invest some time into this book!
ReplyDeleteThis first semester, i also read a true crime book. You did a well written explanation, and your details were very interesting. Although, it could've been better if you didn't spoil as much details.
ReplyDeletePersonally my first choice in choosing a book would not be to go to a true crime book, but I think you did well on explaining the plot of the book. I can get a deep understanding of the gruesome events that took place, however I think you could've made it a little more suspenseful. I think adding suspense to this review would pull a person's attention to learning more about the little details in the book. Overall, I think you did a good job on explaining the plot in detail of this book which makes readers illustrate a clear picture of what is going on and what will happen.
