About this listen

Inside a beautiful house in Philadelphia's ritzy Main Line section lay the body of a young mother - dead of an apparent drowning in her bathtub. With no sign of a break-in, no history of marital problems, and the naïve belief that these things sometimes just happen, Stefanie Rabinowitz's family prepared to bury the 29-year-old wife and mother. But at the 11th hour, because Stefanie was so young, and because there were no witnesses to her death, an autopsy was ordered. And what it revealed was unthinkable: Stefanie had been murdered - strangled in her home, then dragged into the tub to stage a fake drowning. Even more shocking was the suspected killer - Stefanie's 34-year-old husband, Craig: devoted family man, loyal husband, and "everybody's best friend".

When the astounding truth began to emerge, so did the tawdry double life of Craig Rabinowitz, a man so obsessed with a $2,000-a-week exotic dancer that his habit caused him to look to the insurance money he would get from murdering his wife. Now, with exclusive interviews and startling inside details, best-selling author Ken Englade blows wide open the shocking true account of a storybook marriage that ended in bone-chilling murder.

Contains mature themes.

After reading another review, I was dubious about what this would be like. I thought it was well written and engaging. I couldn't see any issue with this narrator. Plenty of details to keep the reader interested I thought it was surprisingly good considering it was a free listen.

Really interesting

Really good book, very interesting and a man who lived a double life, caught in debt

Despite poor reviews I decided to give this book a chance, I'm glad I did. I found no problems with the narration. The story was detailed and interesting. It never purported to be a thriller, it is a true crime story and is worth a listen. I was never bored, it held my interest all the way to the epilogue.

An interesting listen

enjoyed the performance, but it was very straightforward, no mystery, so didn't really grip me.

interesting story, but lacks mystery

For a free book it was easy listening but there was no massive twists so you knew what was going to happen from the outset

It’s ok

I enjoyed this audible book. Heartbreaking for all those involved. The narrator was clear and did not fake any accents. There are much worse narrators that I have heard. This man was selfish beyond words. His poor wife lost her young life because of him. He only thought of himself and is paying a high price for it now. I recommend this book. I enjoyed all the lawyers' and detectives' participation and the hard work they did collecting evidence against him, sadly to no avail in the end. I was hoping it would go to trial. it's so obvious why he pleaded guilty.

Very Interesting

Really interesting to go behind the scenes of how a murderer is uncovered and brought to justice, I really enjoyed this book, will definitely be looking at other true crime books by the author, I really liked the narrator as well. Highly recommend

I found this absolutely fascinating.

The narrator speaks far too quickly, in a very monotone voice, there is no difference when reading speech as there is when reading descriptions.

Completely ruined the book

Terrible Narration

Not a success, it became boring and just dragged on. I think if you took about two hours of drivel out of it, it would have been worth listening to,

It just went on and on and on!

The narrator. I didn’t make it through because I found the narrator’s voice too distracting.
