Customer Reviews

Characters you feel you've met and glad you haven't.

An interesting way to go sight-seeing in Yosemite National Park. You can actually 'see' the faces of the characters through the author's descriptions. It has humor in low-key and stirs up enough curiosity to keep you turning the pages. Easy to read and shows one the lifestyles of old Yosemite and why they aren't changing quickly.

1940's High Sierra Adventure

This is a great story set in Yosemite Park. A group of strangers take a week-long hike from the valley floor up around the high Sierra lakes. Along the way the murders begin! The characters are stereotypical but the interpersonal relationships are fun. And the author includes several surprises to keep the reader on their toes. The writing is period but quite enjoyable. An especially great read in Yosemite! It was so intriging of a setting that I am taking nearly the same hike.
