A nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Jennifer Dulos and the aftershocks that rattled a wealthy suburb.

Rich Cohen’s Murder in the Dollhouse is the chilling story of Jennifer Dulos, a beautiful, rich suburban mother who dropped her kids off at the New Canaan Country School one morning and vanished. Her body has never been found.

Dulos was in the midst of an ugly divorce—one of the most contentious in Connecticut state history. The couple, a beautiful, highly connected pair, met at Brown University, had five children, and led what appeared to be a charmed life. In the wake of her disappearance, Dulos’s husband and his girlfriend were arrested. He killed himself on the day he was supposed to report to court; she was tried and convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. A gripping story of status, wealth, love, and hate, Murder in the Dollhouse peers beneath the sparkling veneer of propriety that surrounded the Duloses to uncover the origins and motivations of a crime that has become a national obsession.

Narrated by award-winning narrator Edoardo Ballerini, called "a master in his field" (The New York Times) and "in a class by himself" (Oprah Daily).

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Critic reviews

“What Truman Capote did for Holcomb, Kansas, with In Cold Blood, Rich Cohen has done for New Canaan, Connecticut, with Murder in the Dollhouse. This book isn’t just true crime, it’s sociology in action.” —Lili Anolik, author of Didion and Babitz

“In Murder in the Dollhouse, Rich Cohen takes us beyond the tabloid headlines of the Jennifer Dulos story to chronicle—in devastating detail—the tragic unraveling of a marriage and the shattering of the American dream. With brilliant, razor-sharp writing and deep reporting of the case, he proves to be the perfect narrator as we witness two lives on an inevitable collision course.” —Katie Couric

“Rich Cohen takes what might be dismissed as a tabloid story of murder and mines it for its deeper, weightier resonances, revealing a painfully human (and perhaps quintessentially American) story of a Kafkaesque divorce, its ripple effects on family and friends, and the destructive power of relentless aspiration.” —Megan Abbot, New York Times bestselling author of Beware the Woman

I remembered this case but don't know if I ever knew how it all ended. So sad for the victim, family and kids. Narcissist and his sick, conniving, lying, girlfriend, good examples of ultimate depravity. I was glad to know the outcome, which of course took years to complete the final trial of the girlfriend.

Good wrap up of case

I could not stop listening to this once I started,even though I was qute familiar with the case via Dateline, 48 hours and the New York TImes. Such a tragic story, but told exceedingly well. The narrator was terrific as well.

True Crime Classic

An amazing way to illustrate a true crime story- by focusing on the victim. I have never read a TC story before, and this felt like a great start. The interview at the end made it feel a little victim blame-y, otherwise I enjoyed it. Heartbreaking story and I wonder if the kids are ‘ok’.

Thorough

Narration is excellent and the story itself is very well-written. Perfect amount of background information about the victim and perpetrator balanced against the actual details of the murder.

Fast-paced and Compelling

Author wrote this true story like a Novel.
In my opinion…
It’s ok to loose in the short term to win in the long run….. Money does not fix everything.

The only thing I felt that should be a little different is to read the afterword first, so you know it’s a true story

I love the author

Great writing

I only dropped one star on this review for the constant reminders the author gives us that he is of this rarified world in the beginning of the book. However, that soon stops, and this excellent account of a woman trapped in a golden cage is definitely worth reading.

Sensitively Written
