Rating:  Summary: A Travesty of Justice Review: If you thought the OJ Simpson case was a travesty of justice, wait until you read this! At least OJ was brought to trial. The murderer of Martha Moxley is still free. However, I can't help but think that the research and effort Mark Fuhrman put into this book has helped bring about the recent arrest of Michael Skakel. Whatever you may think of Fuhrman after the OJ Simpson trial debacle, after reading this book, you can't deny that he is an excellent detective. He explains the basic principles of crime investigation and shows how the Greenwich police botched the case. In addition, his conclusions are well thought out and detailed. I can't believe how much trouble and resistance he encountered in gathering information on this case. His reasoning is easy to follow and his conclusions, based on the facts, make you wonder why no one was arrested before now! If you have any doubts about Fuhrman's abilities as a detective, read Vincent Bugliosi's "Outrage." I hope Fuhrman will tackle the JonBenet Ramsey case....then maybe justice will be served there as well.
Rating:  Summary: A riveting book by a first rate detective! Review: After reading Murder in Brentwood, I was very happy to see Mark Fuhrman write another novel. I am a true crime buff and found this to be right up my alley...not only is it a clear, consise presentation of the facts, Mr. Fuhrman clearly uncovers things that the police in Greenwich didn't see or chose to ignore (probably the later due to the Kennedy clan connection and the wealthy family standing behind the perpetrator) Mr. Fuhrman's excellent detective skills are so prominent in this book...you almost have to view him sympathetically after the miscarriage of justice he received as fallout from the O.J. trial In my mind, his research and excellent presentation in this book fully redeem him as a person who knows police work! In light of the events of the last few days, I think that more people will start to realize what really happened in this case...another rich person getting away with murder. I sincerely hope that this excellent novel played the part of a catalyst in bringing Martha's killer to justice!
Rating:  Summary: ..."Thank God for Frank Garr"... Review: Dorothy,Martha's mother's praise for lead detective of state police involved..belated Arrest! warrant served..probable cause ruling by Judge George Thim in CT. Perserverance pays off, justice..will be served
Rating:  Summary: Los Angeles lost one if it¿s greatest detectives. Review: This book will prove it! After reading this book you can't help but feel VERY VERY frustrated at the untouchable ness of the Kennedy's. And only after this book raised such public awareness that the Mass. DA. Has pressed charges against Michael Skakel. Nice Job Mark Fuhrman!
Rating:  Summary: good read. Review: This was a very interesting book. It made me angry because this kid is going to get away with this murder because of who is family is. The author left out no information. All my questions were answered, except the ones that he himself could not answer. It Kinda makes you crazy because there is no answer to the question "Who killed Martha Moxley?" But it is still very much worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: Holds Your Attention & Well-Researched Review: Say what you will about Mr. Fuhrman,he has written THE authoritative book about the Moxley case. I was thoroughly impressed with his work. As for the reviewer from Greenwich stating that Mark Fuhrman as an outsider isn't able to write about the case adequately, you're wrong! By the way, Dumas's book is titled 'Greentown', not 'Greenstown' as you mistakenly spelled it. Looks like you need to get YOUR facts straight. Typical example of the ignorant Greenwich snobs Mr. Fuhrman encountered and had to deal with while researching this book. How sad!
Rating:  Summary: Very impressive Review: I read this book in 3 days...As an avid reader of mysteries and true crime books, this is one of the better ones that I have read. Mr. Fuhrman seems to be a man of real integrity, as well as an excellent detective and a good writer. Keep it up, Mark!
Rating:  Summary: First-rate Review: Fuhrman does a brilliant investigative job here, and sets it down in first-rate, readable prose. I was amazed how riveting this book was. In the O.J. case, and the Moxley case, the common denominator in a murderer getting away with murder, is wealth. I'm glad Fuhrman has produced something positive out of his having being unconscionably slandered by F. Lee Baily, et. al. He's more interested in justice than most people, and I am glad he has a platform from which to pursue it. (Yes, Fuhrman was found guilty of perjury, but if you read Bugliosi's take on the situation, Fuhrman technically did not commit perjury. He got rail-roaded because of an inept Judge Ito).
Rating:  Summary: Tired of the rich getting away with murder Review: After reading Fuhrman's "Murder In Brentwood," all I could say was, "Dear God,why did this not come out at the trial?!!" I then read "Murder In Greenwich." Everything I had heard about the case made it seem complicated and unsolvable. After reading Fuhrman's book, it all became stupidly clear. The only reason this case has not been brought to trial is wealth and power. As for Fuhrman, despite how you may feel for him personally,it is hard to deny he is a great detective and a good writer. The intensity and seriousness of the crime are actually broken when Fuhrman describes the hysteria and the treatment he received by the residents and the police during his investigation. The manner in which he handled it gives the reader some insight into Fuhrman's complex personality as well as his tenacity and dedication to solving this case. There are not many people who are willing to put themselves through that much abuse to solve a twenty year old murder case. The justice system is now 0 for 2 in putting wealthy murderers where they belong. Simpson and now the Ramseys' have committed the ultimate act of evil and bought their way out of punishment. Let's just pray that this book helps bring at least one wealthy murderer to justice.
Rating:  Summary: I learned a lot about this case that I never knew. Review: I recently read the Mark Fuhrman book about the Moxley case. I first heard about this case on "Unsolved Mysteries" a few years ago, and ever since, it has intrigued me. Fuhrman's book is engrossing and gives specific facts and dates which help the reader to understand the events of the night of October 30, 1975, as well as a good understanding of the Skakel family. Some parts of the book were slightly overwritten, and somewhat sensational, but overall, the book was very informative and gave good insight into this unsolved murder case.
