Editor reviews

Jesse Einstein brings a clear voice and understated performance to Peter Ross Range’s nonfiction crime story Murder in the Yoga Store: The True Story of the Lululemon Killing.

Range, a one-time overseas bureau chief for Time, brings his reporting skills to the murder of the Washington, D.C., yoga store employee who was stabbed to death by her co-worker. Vividly evoking both the victim and the killer, the author recounts the incident, the ensuing cover-up by the murderer, and, ultimately, her arrest and trial.

Einstein trusts the power of this grisly true life story and reads it carefully – and without any overly dramatic flourishes.

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.

Peter Ross Range is a longtime Washington, D.C., magazine writer. A former White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report and foreign correspondent for Time, Range has covered politics, international affairs and war. He has written for The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic and many other publications.

good story, awful delivery

This crime was was such a horrific incident and while it was interesting the delivery was terrible. not just the delivery but the repeated use of the full N word by someone who isn't Black! There is absolutely no excuse or need for this and frankly I'm disgusted.

good short listen

I didn't mind the narrator that much but I agree that the performance certainly isn't the best I've heard, it felt lacking. The story was wild & compelling enough for me to be hooked, I recommend it for a short true crime listen.

The voice is not convincing

The monotone lilt of the narrator makes this a hard listen. The story itself is both compelling and very sad.

Why wasn’t this counted as a racist hoax crime?

This vile woman falsely accused two white males, and cold bloodily murdered a young white female, yet this is not a concern to Americans. If it was the other way around it would be and there would have been total outrage.
RIP.

Needs Trigger Warning & New Narrator

Should have come with a trigger warning about the misogynistic and racist terms that are used (when describing the attack). It’s an interesting case but the writing lacks depth and the narrator sounds like a robot trying on different voices.

Terrible Narration

I genuinely struggled to decide if the narrator was human or a bot. So robotic and monotone, making it difficult to listen to. I love true crime so I'm soldiering on so far.
Glad it was included in my membership as I'd be asking for money back if not.
My advice; listen to the sample first to see if you can put up with the voice.

Good account, poor narration

Terrible true account of an awful murder is spoiled by the stilted narration, attempts at different voices all of which come across like the worst audition tape for a bargain basement soap opera
