Murder in the Dollhouse

Murder in the Dollhouse: The Jennifer Dulos Story (expected publication date May 20, 2025)

Rich Cohen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennifer Dulos was a wealthy, suburban wife who was in the midst of a contentious divorce when she vanished in May 2019 after taking her children to school. She and her husband had met at Brown University, went their separate ways and then reconnected and married in 2004. While it seemed their life appeared perfect from the outside, it was anything but. After finding out about her husband’s affair, Jennifer moved out with her 5 children and filed for divorce in 2017, setting the stage for the tragic events that followed.

In this book, the author takes a deep dive into the lives of Jennifer and Fotis Dulos. Cohen meticulously reports on their upbringing, family lives and the events that lead up to this tragic disappearance. I was not very familiar with this case and felt this book presented in this case in an informative way. I felt the only drawback was the lack of information on the actual police investigation. Despite that, this story held my interest throughout and I would recommend this book to other true crime readers.
