Book Reviews of The Mormon Murders

Book Review: An Eye Opener
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent book which exposes the complete abuse of power that was demonstrated by the Mormon Church in this tale of forgery, murder and obstruction of justice.

I relied heavily on this book when I used this event in history as an application chapter in my own book "When Salt Lake City Calls." Steven and Gregory did their work well and pull together a huge amount of information into a very readable account of this ugly event of American history. This book is must read for those who wish to know about the Corporation called the Mormon Church.

Summary of The Mormon Murders

On October 15, 1985, two pipe bombs shook the calm of Salt Lake City, Utah, killing two people. The only link-both victims belonged to the Mormon Church. The next day, a third bomb was detonated in the parked car of church-going family man, Mark Hoffman. Incredibly, he survived. It wasn't until authorities questioned the strangely evasive Hoffman that another, more shocking link between the victims emerged...

It was the appearance of an alleged historic document that challenged the very bedrock of Mormon teaching, questioned the legitimacy of its founder, and threatened to disillusion millions of its faithful-unless the Mormon hierarchy buried the evidence.

Drawing on exclusive interviews, The Mormon Murders reconstructs a secret conspiracy of God, greed, and murder that would expose one of the most ingenious con men in the annals of crime-and shake the very foundation of a multibillion-dollar empire to its core.
