Blind Faith Review: GREED, LUST, AND MURDER, A DEFINITE PAGE-TURNER - BLIND FAITH Blind Faith by author Joe McGinnis is an extremely well written book and I found I could not put the book down. The story is riveting and there are a numerous number of characters in the book so there is a lot of switching back and forth in the timeline of events that leads to Maria’s death and eventually a trial and prison for those responsible. There are good guys, bad guys, investigators, insurance policies, pay-outs, motels, phone records, credit reports, receipts. so, a lot to follow but a rewarding read. Rob and Maria Marshall live in Toms River with their three children and Tom is an insurance salesman, and his wife Maria is a housewife. Tom believes their standing in the community is very important when they move there. To Tom the image of his family is everything not only the way they dress but the perfect family they must portray to everyone. They drive the right car, mix in the correct circle of people, join the country club and are seen at all the right places (restaurants, friends, diner party’s) in the town of Toms River. Tom’s life consists of his image he has of himself and leads to a life of adultery, gambling, and drugs and then one night the murder of Maria whilst the couple drive home from Atlantic City. Tom pulled over to check his tire and the story he tells police when they arrive is he gets knocked out and when he came to, he found his wife has been shot dead. The town that thought Tom could do no wrong soon realise as the police investigate Maria’s murder that when the mask Rob Marshall wore and is taken off nothing is what it seemed. The sad part is once the trial starts you find Tom is a legend in his own mind and will do anything to get of going to jail. Tom’s only love is for himself, he is materialistic, loves money, is greedy, and lies. He even lies to his three children that he had nothing to do with their mother’s murder and then asks one son to lie for him on the witness stand as it comes to the end of the trial. I have read a few books by Joe McGinnis and am never disappointed. A true crime thriller of greed, lust, and murder, a definite page-turner, and a book I would highly recommend. I am part of the ARC group for Wildblue Press and BookSirens and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Review: Slow to start, then quite a ride - Overall, I was riveted by this book. It was a slow start in setting the characters that didn’t seem relevant, but once McGinniss got into the story of the slow decline of a plastic character in a pretend life, it becomes a every intense read with a very eye opening ending. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #140,741 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Law Enforcement (Books) #147 in Dysfunctional Families (Books) #248 in Murder & Mayhem True Accounts | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,515) | | Dimensions | 4.21 x 0.98 x 6.69 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0451418131 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0451418135 | | Item Weight | 7.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | October 17, 2012 | | Publisher | Berkley | ## Images ![Blind Faith - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G5+I+zaTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREED, LUST, AND MURDER, A DEFINITE PAGE-TURNER *by K***G on September 9, 2021* BLIND FAITH Blind Faith by author Joe McGinnis is an extremely well written book and I found I could not put the book down.

It was a slow start in setting the characters that didn’t seem relevant, but once McGinniss got into the story of the slow decline of a plastic character in a pretend life, it becomes a every intense read with a very eye opening ending. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engrossing and fast-paced *by P***P on April 3, 2014* Joe McGinness has the knack of re-creating a murder scene and putting the reader smack into it. His extremely detailed backgrounds which include both places and people acquaint you with the particulars to such an extent that you are there. Even if you know who the perp is, the suspense is triggered to get you to keep turning the pages. It is obvious that Robert Marshall is involved in his wife's murder up to his eyeballs, but it doesn't matter that you suspect him because he is such a vile person you are more or less obligated, if you like justice, (and of course you do) to see him safely in the dock before you close the book. You wonder as this complicated situation unfolds as to the depth of evil a man can sink to. Besides the murderer there are several smaller fish to fry and the way the law tracks them down is fascinating. The sociopath like Robert Marshall is probably the scariest of criminals because he (rarely she) has no conscience whatsoever, feels no guilt, believing the world is there to serve him, his own private oyster. He is the ultimate Narcissis. The agony of Marshall's three fine sons over the arrest of their father let alone the murder of their mother seeps into McGinness' narrative again and again, but they are not voices crying in the wilderness. They portray the Blind Faith of the title because they want to believe in the innocence of their father. They are strong and they will triumph, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Felice, Marshall's girlfriend, for whom Maria Marshall was killed, jumps out of the pages almost as a caricature. Dark haired , confident and glib she apparently slept around before she met Marshall. You almost feel Rob Marshall deserves her. The town itself, Toms River, where the Marshalls lived , is pretty much scorned by author McGinness:'"you were what you drove, you were what you wore, you were where you lived - no matter how mortgaged you were." The trial scene in the last part of "Blind Faith" is an energetic mix of personalities, the two attorneys, the Judge and the witnesses all contributing to the melee. Prosecutor Kevin Kelly goes after Marshall on the witness stand "nostrils flaring" and layer by layer strips Marshall of his credibility. Greed, lust and murder, this book has it all, drenched in almost unbearable suspense. It's sad Joe McGinness is no longer with us but he has left behind a fine legacy of true crime thrillers that are the hallmark of the genre.
