The Camp Scott Murders: The 1977 Girl Scout Murders

This is a surprisingly efficient and interesting accounting of event of one of the most forgotton tragedies in American history. It’s shocking how little you hear about this case anymore.That being said there is almost no narrative to this book whatsoever, which could be considered good or bad depending. This is genuinely a step by step account/breakdown of all available evidence and testimonies, complete with photos and newspaper clippings. Pretty much the best book you can find on the subject that is still in circulation. Other books on the subject would be “someone cry for the children”, which does have a narrative told from the perspective of 2 of the actual investigators of the crimes, and “tent number eight” told by someone who spent very little time actually writing the book and is very uninteresting.All that being said this is a great book and full of valuable information on the investigation and case, and it is still in print at a reasonable price to boot!Highly recommended!

It said used but it looks brand new and it beautiful. very happy with every thing. thank you for getting it to me so fast. Will buy from this was again.

I liked the pictures and details

I have nothing against self-published authors. In fact...I am one. But this book is a MESS. Spelling errors, grammatical errors, mechanical errors, inconsistencies like "9" and "nine" in the same context, words capitalized when they shouldn't be, and vice versa. I only ordered it because I am intrigued by this case, and the only published book about the murders at Camp Scott (Someone Cry for the Children by Dick and Michael Wilkerson) is out of print and very expensive. It is clear the author of this disaster had ZERO intel and zero first-hand information. The book tells me nothing I could not get from a bunch of old newspaper articles.

Whereas I thought I was receiving a true-crime book about an incident in which I've long been interested, this book was little more than a listing of dates and descriptors. Not that I don't enjoy putting the pieces together, but this had the feel of reading the book of Numbers aloud in a monotone. Fascinating material, dull approach
