As with the other volumes in this series but one, this is well worth reading as a good factual account of the crimes.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via LibraryThing. (  ) pomo58 | Nov 30, 2015 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers on LibraryThing. I liked that while it is a short and concise book, there seems to have been research done for the writing of this book. A reader is not only introduced to the killer, but also to the victims and their families. This book give a reader a glimpse inside the upbringing and thinking of the Yosemite Park Killer. While I enjoyed the narrative and getting the real story behind these murders, I could not help but notice the misspellings, typos (especially in the killers name), and grammatical errors throughout. Hopefully, these will be corrected before the final edition. ( ) finallycj | Aug 22, 2015 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I received a KINDLE Edition of this book from the author through a recent giveaway on LibraryThing.com and the following is my honest opinion.Who could have thought that the majestic beauty of Yosemite National Park in California would one day serve as the backdrop for a heinous series of sexual murders? Well it did, and Cary Stayner was the culprit behind it. The author of this book, Jack Rosewood, has skillfully taken us back through the book’s pages to a story which had gripped the nation for months. Instead of getting each bit of the story on a daily basis we’re presented with a complete detailed timeline, from the first sadistic killing of his first victim, his ultimate capture, his copping a plea deal at his first trial for the death of one of his victims, thereby avoiding an arduous trial [for his victim’s families and himself] and a possible death sentence which had been surprisingly encouraged by the mother of one of his victim, Julie Armstrong. Luckily Cary Stayner eventually met his fate, proven guilty and sentenced to death. In addition to this we’re given details about this depraved individual’s background and life so we can see, at least to some extent, what made this individual tick. An interesting part of this is that his younger brother, Steven, who most of us already knew about since his abduction by a pedophile and held as a sex slave for 7 years had been made into a miniseries, I Know My Name is Steven. As an individual who has written numerous items for a community newspaper, I can understand and appreciate the efforts the author has made in putting everything into the organized and insightful manner he has; which is why I’m giving this book 5 STARS.

While some would say that American serial killer Cary Stayner was influenced by family tragedy - his already-troubled family was shattered when his brother was abducted for seven years and held as a sex slave before his heroic return inspired the miniseries "I Know My First Name Is Steven" - in reality, Cary Stayner's true crime story is much more ominous. The handsome, outdoorsy guy with a love for marijuana, nude beaches and the Sierra Nevada mountain range where he once spotted Bigfoot had been harboring fantasies of brutally killing women years before his brother's abduction turned the Stayner family upside down. And in the annals of historical serial killers, Stayner's story stands out, because for months he made one of the most beautiful places on earth a nightmare for women when California's majestic Yosemite National Park became his own devil's playground, and he finally found himself unable to control his long-suppressed urges. Because he didn't look menacing, the man one FBI agent compared to actor Tom Laughlin in "Billy Jack" was able to gain the trust of his victims, and three vacationing women who were staying at the lodge where he lived and worked during the busy tourist season and a nature-loving teacher who help kids become stewards of the land she loved made that fatal mistake before they were savagely, sadistically murdered. The biography of serial killer Cary Stayner and his psychopathic crime spree leaves spine-tingling chills, because as far as the outside world was concerned, he was a fairly normal guy who found himself uncontrollably compelled to kill. Stayner has been on death row in California's famed San Quentin for more than 10 years, but for the families of his victims, no punishment is just enough to make up for the vibrant lives Stayner took, making him one of the most depraved American serial killers in contemporary history.

This was the first time that I had read anything by this author and I was impressed with his writing style. I have never heard of this killer before and he was supposedly a normal person.
Cary Stayner had everyone around him fooled letting them think he was normal until he went on his killing spree, sending shock waves through the community where he lived. This is definitely a five star read and I will be adding this author to my true crime authors. (
