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.

Great reader. Fantastic read. Thoroughly researched, facts presented brilliantly, gripping - was on the edge of my seat.

Stunning

great book could not stop listening the narrator is perfect and what a POS MacDonald is

interesting

i don't know i still believe that jeffrey MacDonald was railroaded it's really hard to say so many years after the fact i just don't know

A MUST READ

Excellent! Blackburn's final argument was absolutely outstanding. The reader is left with haunting memories of the victims' precious, short lives and their horrid demise at the hands of their most trusted protector.

Fascinating read (or listen)

I went into this book not knowing much about it. I was born 10 years after the murders occurred and actually found out about the case through a recent podcast Morally Indefensible. But Lord. I definitely made my mind up a few chapters into this. In my opinion Jeff MacDonald is guilty as sin. Yes, the Army and local PD screwed up. Yes his in-laws seemed to be rather flawed. But my God. Dr. MacDonald is such a narcissistic. I get that narcissistic behavior does not make you a murderer. There are plenty of narcissistics out there who have never physically harmed anyone. But it certainly offers a perspective of how someone could do the unthinkable and be convinced he’s not wrong. As George Costanza says “It’s not a lie if you believe it.”

Good listen.

This story has always intrigued me. it is amazi f how much we have learned in the Forensic arts since this time. if the crime scene had been preserved it wouldn't have taken so long to convict him0

Great writing!

Love this book… kept my attention for the entire 27+ hours. Incredibly thorough and I loved the narrators.

Strong book

The story is absolutely riveting. Glad to have read it. I was struggling recommend this as a complementary to the show that is on prime video on Amazon called wilderness of error.

Well Written & Great Details!

It's a tragedy that this was a real case but it's a great read. The story is not slow at all. This case was a rollercoaster ride and the author managed to be detailed while getting to the point. I loved it and would totally read it again.

Very long and detailed

Despite the length and deep level of details- I found this story compelling. Lot's of opportunities to go from "no way he did it" to "of course it was him". The delivery was mostly factual and balanced. Classic study of a bizarre situation.
