About this listen

The sordid number-one New York Times best-selling true crime story of adultery, addiction, gambling debt, and murder in a privileged suburban town - from author and journalist Joe McGinniss.

The Marshalls were the model family of Tom’s River, New Jersey, living the American dream and seemingly in possession of all that money could buy. Rob Marshall, a successful insurance broker, was the big breadwinner, king of the country-club set. Maria Marshall was his stunningly beautiful wife and the perfect mom to their three great kids.

Then one night, while the couple drove home from Atlantic City, Rob, his head bloodied, reported Maria had been brutally slain. Sympathy poured in - until disquieting facts began to surface...and the true story of adultery, gambling, drugs, and murder tore the mask off Rob Marshall and the blinders off the town that thought he could do no wrong.

This is definitely not a fun story but one worth hearing. The family is very strong and gives a voice to someone whose voice was cut short.

Blind Faith, was worth the listen, especially if you have trouble focusing on plot lines and characters. I will say it underperformed do to the fact it was very obvious what happened extremely early in the story. I feel bad for saying so because there were no twists in real life. My opinion on the latter would be that McGinnis fills this void, by adding dialog from the sons, obvious and a little annoying. Overall good read and i'm from South Jersey so it was fun to know all the geographical subjects.

I thought Joe McGinnis, couldn’t go wrong. Very disappointed in the telling of story. Like listening to a rarely practiced play.

Not to my liking

Wonderfully written and the narrated by the my favorite narrator, such a pleasure to listen to.

Another great book by Joe McGinnis

This book seemed to drag on and on with many areas becoming difficult to listen to without wanting to fast forward. Details are good but it seemed that there was a lot of repetitive information.

It is, of course, a devastatingly sad story and my heart goes out to the sons of Maria Marshall.

Excellent story telling of true crime. Thorough and deep. However, there are updates to this story. Oldest son is married and successful. Actual shooter has confessed. Would like have heard an additional Epilogue .

great listen

It was a very interesting true crime story in general but it was presented very well and the different voices did not come across as corny. Add to that, the fact I live in the state where the murder took place so it was super interesting to hear familiar towns and even street names. I could not stop listening!

Highly Recommend!

Very good book all around. So fantastic it’s hard to believe. Such a loss for the sons. But a true demonstration of how one person can be so seif centered and hurt so many.

Very good

After a while, this story simply wore me out....it was so incredibly sad, and the guilty party so vapid and self centered that you just wish it all to end. I did not enjoy it much at all, and had to force myself to finish.

Not nearly as good as Fatal Vision

I thoroughly enjoyed this true accounting of the Rob Marshall story. It continues to amaze me how people can lead such double lives and justify it as 'normal'.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION!!!
