Publisher Description
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, unputdownable 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This true-crime tale takes on unexpected depth in the hands of a journalist with the heart of a detective. Jennifer and Fotis Dulos were a wealthy couple in ultra-posh New Canaan, Connecticut, whose marriage went horribly south. A brutal divorce and custody battle ended with Jennifer’s 2019 disappearance, and all signs pointed to her husband and his mistress. Jennifer’s body was never recovered, Fotis killed himself, and his girlfriend went to prison. Even the unadorned facts read like pulp fiction, and journalist Rich Cohen doesn’t shy away from the story’s suspenseful intensity. But his research, interviews, and storytelling skill make us feel for Jennifer, her kids, and her mother in a way no news story could manage. Narrator Edoardo Ballerini strikes the perfect balance between drama and reportage in his urgent, no-nonsense delivery. This tragic account of privilege and pathos will stick with you.
