Summary: Another readable book by Mark Fuhrman
Review: I simply consume books, and if I like the book I can read a whole book in a short period of time. I had read the Simpson book prior to Murder in Greenwich, and simply could not put it down! It was even hard to go to work. I started this book one evening about 7:00pm, went to work the next day and finished it about midnight the next night. Mark Fuhrman has a style that will keep you mesmerized. Plus, I find him very compassionate. Our system has become so political, it's a wonder that we catch and prosecute anyone. What a shame! It seems that justice would be the main objective. Both the Simpson case and the Moxley case are just a reflection of each other. Money and politics come in ahead of justice. Mark, please give us a book on the Ramsey case! Let's get the true story.

I have searched the internet to send a fan letter to Mark Fuhrman. Hopefully, this review will reach him.

Summary: Its about time, isn't it Martha?
Review: After 25 years of investigating, the Greenwich Police have turned up nothing in regards to a suspect in the case of Martha Moxley. What's wrong with this picture? Mark Fuhrman has cleverly used all his experience and insight to reconstruct what happened on that fatal night in 1975 to a sweet young 15 year old girl who deserves to be redeemed by someone. Mark Fuhrmans findings as well as his dedication to the Moxley family and Martha herself is by far much more than any one of the detectives in the Greenwich Police department ever did for Martha. Considering Mr. Fuhrman had an uphill climb mostly due to the lack of cooperation from the Greenwich police and other "knowledgable sources" surrounding the murder investigation. But he clearly perservered and helped reignite attention to the case causing Connecticut to finally appoint a grand jury investigation (you're about 25 years late, fellas)!

I applaud you Mr. Fuhrman, we could use many more detectives with the knowledge and dedication you have displayed. I hope you take it upon yourself in your retirement to help other families of unsolved or botched investigations to help find out what "really happened" and see that justice is served.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ultimate justice
Review: such a monumental work and collaboration between individuals who were bent on justice.

One of the great ironies of course is that Fuhrman - much maligned during the OJ scandal for his supposed racism - turns out (as does the brilliant Dominick Dunne) to be a real hero.

This book moved mountains.

Racism may be stupid, but murder is evil.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Riveting Account
Review: This is an extremely interesting book, particularly for its illumination of a homicide detective's thought processes.

If/when you read it, see whether you, too, discern something a little off-base about the way these young rich kids played and partied. Martha Moxley, 15, liked beer a lot -- her parents even joked about it, how a case of beer would make a good birthday present for her. This exclusive neighborhood of theirs was full of massively wealthy families with lots of teens who certainly had the freedom to party, and you have to wonder if that overall lack of parental supervision was a contributory factor in Martha's death. The neighborhood was well guarded -- from outside dangers. Internally, though, it definitely needed some improvement in security practices.

Summary: Former Kansas Cop Gives Det. Fuhrman Thumbs Up!
Review: If there was a such thing as a Mark Fuhrman poster, it would be hanging over my computer.
Sometimes the truth hurts--it comes like a well deserved spanking that we resented way back when, but appreciate later in life.
Mark Fuhrman has somehow come to embody that "truth" and that should say much for us as Americans.
I regret not following this case much on Court TV, but I caught the television movie and decided to buy the book from Amazon and criss cross it both for accuracy and discrepancy. (Sorry, it's a cop thing). Fuhrman reports it as he sees it. Perfect narrative.
Any Watch Commander would be pleased.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: Mark Fuhrman does an excellent job with this book. I could not put it down. He uses comoon sense and his police expertise. The murder is one of the sadest I have ever heard and it comes as no suprise that back in the 70's no one would dare name someone related to the Kennedy's or for that matter put one on trial...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent True Crime
Review: On October 30, 1975, the small community of Belle Haven, changed forever, when the murder of a young girl, Martha Moxley, took place. Found the next day, beaten and stabbed with a golf club, life changed for the Moxley family forever as they know it. From day one evidence was destroyed, innocent people were treated as suspects, and a rich family almost got away with the crime of the century, all by the carelessness of the Greenwich police department. All that changed the minute Mark Fuhrman came along. He got down to business, and solved this crime, finally closing the book on the Martha Moxley case.

This is the true accounts of the murder, the suspects, the police, the residents of Greenwich and Belle Haven, etc. Written by someone who witnessed it firsthand. Mark Fuhrman has written another best-seller, about a crime that haunted America for more than two decades. A must-read book, with info you won't get anywhere else.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good read however ...
Review: I enjoyed reading the book and finished it quickly. If you are interested in the Moxley case this is good book to read however if you really pay attention you will see how much he stretches in order to point the finger at Michael Skakel while downplaying or ignoring evidence about other suspects. He constantly accuses the police of making assumptions however toward the end of the book Mr. Fuhrman makes many assumptions in order to prove the Michael Skakel committed the crime. My opinion is that he is an average detective and a ... when it comes to writing. A much better book on the case is "A Wealth of Evil" by Timothy Dumas also "The Other Mrs. Kennedy" is a great book if you want to learn more about the Skakel family. If you read these books first and then read Fuhrman's I think you will agree with my opinions about this book. Also remember he was handed a confidential report called the Sutton Report...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, convincing detective work
Review: I"m not sure if Jon Benedict the prosecutor read this book before the trial, but it certainly helped solved the case in one way or the other. I 100% believe in Skakel's guilt, for there's no way others could have done it. Fuhrman's book is persuasive, compelling and once you get on to it, you won't put it down. It's just laughable to hear what David Skakel's saying that he believes Michael is innocent only because he's his brother, and Michael is a nice man who no way could have done it. Not anymore after you read Fuhrman's book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is the first book I have read concerning the Moxley murder, which coincidentally was within days of the Skakel conviction. I think after reading this you will be well informed about the case, and will agree with the guilty verdict of Michael Skakel.
