About This Book
An investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Jennifer Dulos and the aftershocks that shook a wealthy suburb One morning, suburban mother Jennifer Dulos dropped off her kids at the New Canaan Country School and then vanished. Her body has never been found. Dulos was in the middle of an ugly divorce—one of the most contentious in Connecticut state history. The Duloses, a beautiful, highly connected pair, met at Brown University, had five children, and led what appeared to be a charmed life. In the wake of her disappearance, Dulos's husband and his girlfriend were arrested. He killed himself on the day he was supposed to report to court; she was tried and convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. A gripping story of status, wealth, love, and hate, Murder in the Dollhouse peers beneath the sparkling veneer of propriety that surrounded the Duloses to uncover the origins and motivations of a crime that became a national obsession.
Reviews
"Cohen has constructed a meticulous true-crime tale that focuses on the victim, not the perpetrator ..."
"This tragedy is flattened, and it's hard to tell what, if anything, it's meant to illuminate about the world."
"Equal parts gripping, sad and enraging ..."
"Cohen steadies the grim churn of events with tact and underlying moral revulsion ..."
"A scintillating, chillingly compulsive, utterly heartbreaking read."
"Cohen...is awfully good at telling [the story]."
"It's a riveting true crime tale."
