About this audiobook
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 twenty-nine-year-old wife and mother. But at the eleventh 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 thirty-four-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 two-thousand-dollar-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, bestselling author Ken Englade blows wide open the shocking true account of a storybook marriage that ended in bone-chilling murder.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story. I’d read about it before and I’m from Philadelphia so it was interesting. The narrator is good but I can’t believe he wouldn’t look up how to pronounce words. He pronounces Shiva wrong, saying Sheeva With the long e. I mean not everybody knows how to pronounce words that are used in Judaism but this is a biggie. It’s Shiva, With a short i.
After we find out who killed the main character it seems to ramble a bit.2 people found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an excellent true crime book. While this case has been covered in a lot of podcasts and at least one other book, the author seems to have had some inside access to someone on the prosecution team. There are lots of new details and insights in the book. The pacing is good and the narration is absolutely excellent.
