Publisher's summary

Murder In The Yoga Store is the true story of the brutal killing of a beautiful young woman at a chic Lululemon yoga-wear shop. The grisly murder was committed on a pleasant Friday night in upscale Bethesda, Maryland, a leafy suburb of Washington, D.C. In this riveting narrative by veteran journalist Peter Ross Range, the author for the first time brings together the tale of what really happened in the yoga store murder. He portrays the personalities of both victim and murderer, along with the strange and convoluted circumstances of the crime and its cover-up. Range meticulously exposes layer upon layer of deceit and confusion. His account builds the tension of the police investigation until the real story, so odd and creepy, takes your breath away. The drama of the murder trial is a moving emotional roller coaster built around the prosecutors, the detectives and the family of the victim.

Great Listen for True Crime Fans

This story had me hooked from beginning to end. I couldn't stop listening!
Jesse Einstein has a great voice, too. He's a little choppy at times, but he'll be fantastic after more experience.

Heartbreaking

This is truly one of the most heartbreaking stories I have listened to. The reason for the murder is beyond unbelievable and I am so glad that the judge didn’t hold anything back when sentencing.

Good story, but told in an average fashion

This was an interesting story, which could have been presented in a more-interesting fashion. The narrator did little for me. If Lululemon's has any male sales associates, this might have been who was doing the narrating. I think a female narrator would have worked much better. The way the story was put together was also lacking. It was more a series of independent facts than it was a weaved-together story. I probably would have enjoyed it more if someone created a piece of non-fiction and based it on the true story. A 10-minute epilogue could have then summarized what actually took place. With all that said, it was a relatively short listen and one that was worth my time. Upon it's completion, I Googled the characters in the book and put together names, faces and other nuances not available in the book. And you can't do that with straight fiction. Worth the price I paid with an Audible Daily Deal.

Torturous Narration. . . and Waaaaaay Too Long

This story was of interest to me because I lived in Bethesda, just a block from Bethesda Row where the murder occured. However, the narrator's tortured reading of the book was almost too awful to continue. Thank goodness it was only 3 hours long, although with a good narrator, could have been 2.5 maximum.

Horrific story, horrific outcome for both victim and perpetrator. Not a fun read.

Poor narration

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Intuitive detective work, and justice is served The worst part is that it really happened - quite disturbing and sad.

What didn’t you like about Jesse Einstein’s performance?

Stilted, distracting and strange reading. I would recommend reading the story.

Listened to in one Day

I listened to in one sitting -- It's only 3 hours but I really enjoyed it as I missed this headline other than vaguely knowing there was a murder at a Lemon Lulu, but no more than that and it was not on my memory horizon at all. It was a great storyline and a sad tale of murder that didn't have to be. There were so many things that could have prevented this from happening, it makes one wonder if it was meant to be -- but that certainly can't be true. If it was written as fiction, it would have been considered too implausible to the reader

True Story

This audio book tells the story of a young woman employee who was murdered in the back room of a Lulu Melon store. It takes you on the hunt for the killer and the evidence/scene that the police were presented with. I found this story captivating and the true killer unfeeling and glad that justice was served.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Murder in the Yoga Store?

My annoyance with the reading

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He took the emotion from the story. It's just the facts now reading killed (excuse the pun ) story line.
