Everybody's Best Friend

The True Story of a Marriage That Ended in Murder

De: Ken Englade

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

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.

Well done

This was an extremely entertaining story. The last book was the best Wi-Fi. Our narrator has incredible talent which he really showed in this book. I hope you all enjoy.

Very interesting story and I enjoyed the audiobook

Narrator wasn't the greatest but overall ok. Some things were repeated over again a few times

Good all-around

Good all around story, good narration. Funny how the whole story was about trial lead-up, until it wasn't.

Great but Sad Story

This was a well written story that gives you a look into how arrogant some people can truly be. Very sad for the ultimate ending.

Great listen!

Great story and performance!
The author did a great job of including just the right amount of investigative information. You really feel for his wife, family, and friends.

Excellent detail presentation

Love this book. No drama. Straight forward and professional writing. I felt like o was at the crime scene!

Great true crime and I listen to a lot.

This book is free to subscribers so I expected it to be just ok. The detail and depth of research into all the main people is amazing. It's thoroughly engrossing even though it's just one murder and not a serial killer. You really get a sense of how everyone feels and reacts, you're drawn in to their personal stories. The narrator is also good even though he mispronounces Shiva. He pronounced it like the Indian god with long e - sheeva, rather than short i - shivvuh. I'm not Jewish but it irked me nonetheless. But that's my only minor complaint. The rest is great. I highly recommend this for any true crime fans, especially those who like spousal murder and all the intrigue, secret double life, and impact on everyone involved.

Riveting

This was a very well thought out and informative book. Riveting and compassionate as well.

Loved it

Great listen, well written and read. Amazing story…I just really really Love true crime💕.

Murder for failure to be a real man

This was a very well researched true crime documentary. I’m always curious about why people do what they do. Heartbreaking story sympathy to the family and friends of the victim.
