Helpful Score: 1
I enjoyed reading this book because it is true crime. However, some parts were kinda slow moving.
Very good true life crime novel.
Joe McGinniss in my opinion hasn't written a bad book and this follows his usual superior story writing. Blind Faith is about a man who killed his wife yet was able to convince his sons that he was innocent even all of the evidence pointed only to him. They had blind faith in him and supported him all through the trials the father went through. I can't tell you how it ended because it would spoil the book for you but if you like Joe McGinniss you will enjoy this one.
The Marshalls were the model family of Toms River, New Jersey, living the american dream of all that money could buy. Rob Marshall was the big bread winner, king of the country club set. Maria Marshall was his stunningly beautiful wife and the perfect mom to their 3 great kids. Then one night Rob, his head bloodied, reported Maria had been brutally slain. Sympathy poured in-until disquieted facts began to surface... and the true story of adultry, gambling, drugs and murder tore the mask off Rob Marshall and the blinders off the town that thought he could do no wrong...
