About this listen
Fatal Vision is the electrifying true story of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, the handsome, Princeton-educated physician convicted of savagely slaying his young pregnant wife and two small children, murders he vehemently denies committing.
Best-selling author Joe McGinniss chronicles every aspect of this horrifying and intricate crime and probes the life and psyche of the magnetic, all-American Jeffrey MacDonald, a golden boy who seemed destined to have it all. The result is a penetration to the heart of darkness that enshrouded one of the most complex criminal cases ever to capture the attention of the American public. It is a haunting, stunningly suspenseful work that no listener will be able to forget.

Where does Fatal Vision rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the category of true crime this is my favouriteWho was your favorite character and why?
I’m not sure that question is appropriate considering the material involved. All participants are observed with great insight and portrayed in an intelligent and thought provoking way.What about Fred Sanders’s performance did you like?
Excellent, his voice has the gravitas necessary for the story.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Always, I read it years ago and it resonance continues, however, for me the psychological aspects and analysis of the people involved are the really stunning aspects of this work. If only McGinnis were still alive and could use his skills to write a biography on Trump.Any additional comments?
It has to be one of the true crime classic of all time. It’s up there with In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter. Controversial in its time for reasons explained in the last chapter, its an awesome work. The story of how a doctor and Green Beret soldier was found guilty of the horrific murder of his wife and children. It is intense in detail maybe too detailed for some, but that is to my liking. The portrayal of Jeffrey MacDonald and his rather subtle narcissistic personality traits is both fascinating and relevant. These are the days before DNA and it’s a very circumstantial case, however, the real forensic search occurs outside of the courtroom in the dissection of personality, status, excpectations, interpretations and the investigation centres on not only how this most brutal of crimes took place but more interestingly why.The True Crime Classic You Must Listen To

work of great depth

I almost got bored for a lot of the legal talk but you can't say Mcginniss left out anything of any significance in editing.
I recently read (and loved) The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe Mcginniss so I had to check out his other releases, this being an altogether different affair but of no lessing in quality.
highly recommended.
Joe McGinnis is a good man...and thorough.
