Summary: An engrossing tale!
Review: Heard the taped version of MURDER IN GREENWICH by Mark Fuhrman, the maligned detective in the O.J. Simpson criminal trial . . . sometime thereafter, he retired from the L.A. Police Department to become a true crime stories . . . and methinks he should definitely stick to this latter profession.
GREENWICH is the true tale of a beautiful girl--Martha Moxley--who was killed on the grounds of her family's Connecticut home . . . her murderer wasn't found at the time, though Fuhrman contends this was largely because local police mishandled the investigation from the beginning . . . in addition, he contends that wealth and influence interfered with the investigation.
A month after the book was published, the wheels of justice finally began to turn . . . Moxley's killer was convicted, a quarter of a century later.
This engrossing tale was made even more so by Len Cariou's excellent job of narration.

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: 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...

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.
