Synopsis

The Marshalls were the perfect family in the perfect town. They had new cars and a permanent place in the country club set. Then, on a chilly September night, Maria Marshall--the beautiful wife and mother--was murdered in cold blood. The tragedy had only just begun.

While sympathy poured in for Maria's husband Rob and their three sons, the shocking facts were slowly revealed--facts about money-hungry Rob Marshall, about debts, affairs, and hitmen. And when a police investigation turned into a relentless prosecution and a dramatic trial, an even darker truth came out: Rob Marshall would use anyone--even his sons--to cover his crime...

From bestselling writer Joe McGinniss, here is the powerful true story of a horrifying murder, the quest for justice, and the disintegration of an American dream.

**SPOILERS**BLIND FAITH is about the American dream gone horribly wrong. A successful New Jersey insurance salesman, his three overachieving sons, and a housewife so perfectionist she prided herself on the special edge on her pancakes form the core of this Joe McGinnis nonfiction bestseller. But lat......more

Goodreads review by Tanja on May 04, 2014

Rating 4* out of 5. Another solid delivery by Joe McGinniss. Not as long or captivating as "Fatal Vision". I was afraid that reading the two after another would bore me, but the stories were sufficiently different to prevent this. The story is that of Rob Marshall, upstanding member in his community,......more

Goodreads review by Shaun on November 20, 2015

4.5 rounded up to 5 As a fan of true crime this was right up my alley.

Goodreads review by Kimberly on January 30, 2013

The title of this book pretty much sums it up for the Marshall children, who not only lost their mother to a horrific murder, but also their father who made sure to do away with his wife. Can you imagine wanting to believe your surviving parent is innocent of having his wife murdered, only to learn,......more

Goodreads review by Dawn on February 18, 2013

I don't typically read true crime, but I was drawn to this because it happened in Toms River. What I didn't expect was that Toms River actually becomes a character in this book.
