Retired L.A. police detective and witness in the O.J. Simpson trial Mark Fuhrman investigates the murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley. Martha was bludgeoned and stabbed with a golf club on the grounds of her family's Greenwich, CT, estate on the night of October 30, 1975. The club belonged to the Skakel family, whose 2 sons, Thomas and Michael, had been with Martha the night she died. But this prominent family - Ethel Skakel Kennedy was the boys' aunt - refused to cooperate with the police and the murder has remained unsolved. Fuhrman's new book covers the case from its beginning and reveals explosive new information, including how local police mishandled information, how the murder weapon was found - and then lost, how wealth and influence interfered with the investigation, and how authorities tried to stop Fuhrman's investigation.(P) and ©1998 HarperCollins Publishers Inc., All Rights Reserved, Harper Audio, A Division of HarperCollins Publishers Criminology Murder Social Sciences True Crime Crime

Editorial reviews

On a late October night in 1975, young Martha Moxley was brutally murdered, and for nearly a quarter of a century, no charges were levied. In 2002, a prime suspect, Michael Skakel, was convicted of murder. Now, thanks in part to a Connecticut judge granting Skakel a new trial, this audiobook from Mark Fuhrman has taken on an even greater weight. Performed with a rich authority from veteran Len Cariou, Murder in Greenwhich is the complicated and tragic story of murder, wealth, and influence. Fuhram, a retired L.A. police detective, presents a thorough and gripping account of what happened that fateful night and the mistakes that let the killer roam free for so long.

Too much repetitive talk for me.. I didn't like all the talk of masterbation either

This was just stuff I already knew.. Still No justice for Martha👎

The strength of "Murder in Brentwood" was the fact that Fuhrman lived it, worked it and his life was profoundly impacted by the case. "Murder in Greenwich" lacks that personal involvement, and it shows. Unfortunately, it comes across as an episode of an unsolved murder television show and not much more. The fact that the book was written before the killer was finally brought to justice doesn't help either. The narration by Len Cariou is top-notch.

Not the strongest book by Fuhrman

I like Fuhrman’s books. He’s pragmatic, logical and experienced. He pointed to Michael based on following evidence, and look who got convicted for this heinous crime.
Short book but he revealed much information and context I never knew.

Answered several questions.

It was obvious the performance would be spotty when the narrator mispronounced Skakel (consistently). How in the hell do they not correct that. The book was really just OK. I was familiar with the story, but I thought that this book was helpful by organized information and filling in a few blanks. It highlights that there are two America's, the ones the Skakel's live in and the one the rest of us live in.

Mispronouncing the subjects name really?

I had an extremely difficult time with the mispronunciation of the Skakel and Terrien names throughout the narration. Seriously? Surly someone listened to this before it was published!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes and no. I read this book about 10 years ago. I liked the book a lot. Yes, it's a short book but the abridgment was bare boned. I am disappointed that I bought an abridge meant.

What other book might you compare Murder In Greenwich to and why?

I can't think of one. It was done really well but not usual.

Which character – as performed by Len Cariou – was your favorite?

I will listen to Len reading anything. It is why I got the book. I can't think of a particular character

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Good read

Engaging and concise, Fuhrman logically, pragmatically details the how and why behind this initial miscarriage of justice.

Great read

I couldn’t even finish listening to the book due to the enormous amount of mispronunciation of several names throughout the book. Topic is very interesting.

Awful Narrator

Michael Skakel predicted, "I can get away with murder; I'm a Kennedy". But he was convicted in 2002, a couple years after this book came out. Skakel, nephew of
RFK's wife Ethel Skakel Kennedy, was convicted of bludgeoning 15 year old Martha Moxley to death. Early suspicion fell on his brother Thomas, but the case went cold...
then "changed stories" by suspects and the involvement of Domenic Dunne and Fuhrman
(plus the William Kennedy Smith case) brought the mystery back into the public eye.

While this book ends before the conviction, Fuhrman makes a strong case for Skakel's guilt and a likely motive. Len Cariou's narration is good except for one error: I believe the last name of the family is pronounced "SKAY-kll", not "SKAH-kll". For those accusing Fuhrman of being on an ego trip, not so;
he does explain how he was brought into an examination of the case, though.

The Kennedy who didn't get away with murder
