Publisher's summary

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.

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.

Not the strongest book by Fuhrman

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.

Answered several questions.

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.

Mispronouncing the subjects name really?

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.

Edit Much?

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!

Good read

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

Great read

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

Awful Narrator

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.

Loved everything about it!

I’ve listened to this book numerous times, and never get tired of it. I love the narration. The way it’s put together is very easy to understand and certainly, I think the whole point of his investigation is to get things rolling since it had been so long. It’s sad that the local police department didn’t ask for help at the time. There’s absolutely no shame in asking for help when you live in a community like that. It’s sort of common sense. If they had done that, her family would not have suffered like they did for more than two decades. I hope you’re resting in peace Martha.

Impressive investigation by Mark Fuhrman

Well worth your time to listen! The author put together a very well thought out investigation and gave us more details than what we heard elsewhere. Mark, I applaud your courage and honesty in
being as forthright as you were in writing this book.
