Story
In 2015, Mary Yoder returned home from the chiropractic center that she operated with her husband, Bill, complaining that she felt unwell. Mary, health-conscious and vibrant, was suddenly vomiting, sweating, and weak. Doctors in the ER and ICU were baffled as to the cause of her rapidly progressing illness. Her loved ones - including Bill and their children, Adam, Tamryn, and Liana - gathered in shock to say good-bye. In the weeks that followed Mary's death, the grief-stricken family received startling news from the medical examiner: Mary had been deliberately poisoned with colchicine.

Story
On a snowy winter evening in 1982, 21-year-old Mary Brown accepted a ride from a handsome stranger in the resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado. The trip ended with her brutally beaten and raped. Mary survived, but her predator's violence had only just begun. After 10 years in prison, Tom Luther was released a far more vicious criminal. Soon, from the Rockies to West Virginia, like Ted Bundy, Luther enticed a chain of women into his murderous trap.

Story
On 7 August 1985, Nevill and June Bamber, their daughter, Sheila, and her two young sons, Nicholas and Daniel, were discovered shot to death at White House Farm in Essex. The murder weapon was found on Sheila's body; a Bible lay at her side. All the windows and doors of the farmhouse were secure, and the Bambers' son, 24-year-old Jeremy, had alerted police after apparently receiving a phone call from his father, who told him Sheila had 'gone berserk' with the gun. It seemed a straightforward case of murder-suicide, but a dramatic turn of events was to disprove the police's theory.

The Suffolk County police, too, seemed to have paid little attention - until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Very in depth telling of a true crime
Loved it. I first read this book many years ago and the story has always stayed with me. As an audio book it was a different retelling but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a long story so be prepared for that. Sometimes Listening got a bit hard going but I felt that was due to the detail of the story provided rather than the actual story itself. The narration was good although this was my first audio book so I do not have anything to compare it to yet. I highly recommend this book to those who are interested in true crime but be prepared for long read. Good value for money.

Forget the Abridged Version of Any Book
I've listened to the version done with Christopher Reeve several times while traveling. it's abridged to almost 3 hours. I then purchased the unabridged version. I can only say that a true crime novel needs never to be abridged. the amount of details within the first two hours of this book was astonishing. It puts a whole new light compared to the abridged version. You will not be disappointed and you will come back with a different perspective. With that being said this is a sad, horrible story of deceit, ego, innocence and the death of the innocent. This version tells the whole story.

Great to the last sentence.
Excellent insight into Jeff's real life. Not just the life and personality he wanted people to see, but the real person. I felt like I lived next door to these people. They weren't just headlines and a tv movie. This book is as close to a real life look into a the true and actual account of what really happened. For 27 hours there was never a dull or uninteresting moment. I had seen the movie, saw interviews on tv and other documentation about the killings. But this book is so powerful and real, you can see and hear the events as they unfold.

Narcissistic psychopath
I read the book back in the 1980s when the book first came out and was from then on interested in true crime stories. McGinnis does an excellent job of providing both sides of the story but in the end there’s only one person that knows what happened on February 17, 1970 -Jeffrey MacDonald- and he will never admit to murdering his five months pregnant wife and two very young daughters. The psychiatric evaluations, the family and friends who told such wonderful stories about the all American boy, the trials, and Jeffrey MacDonald talking about himself incessantly while never seeming to truly mourn the deaths by murder of his wife and children, all contributed to my conclusion that MacDonald was not what he presented himself to be and that he’s a killer. Read it, or listen to it on audible as I did, you won’t regret it. Ranks up there with Helter Skelter, In Cold Blood, The Onion Field, and The Stranger Beside Me as one of the best true crime books.

The author did a wonderful job. He brought this story to life. I remember parts of the story, but it was nice to know that the husband was caught at the end. He was very cunning and devious, why didn't he just get a divorce? He made sure he could live the single life without any baggage. Hooray for the father in law.

A classic that lives and breathes in 2020
This is my second time listening to Fatal Vision. I don’t remember how I felt first time through, but this book is outstanding. One of the very best True Crime books ever written. Hands down. It’s incredibly well told and fascinating. This writer got to know the defendant extremely well while writing, and he wanted to find the defendant innocent, but the evidence did it’s job and proved he was completely guilty. It tells so much about the defendant that McDonald speaks for himself. He has so many insane thought processes about women, their looks, comparing them to each other, and finally writing a contract to have “two Boys” with his fiancée. In other words, McDonald (defendant) didn’t want the girls in his life. He didn’t know how to behave. He states multiple times that “He’s glad they are gone”. It was a relief to him. Imagine that??! He is a narcissistic psycho with feminine attributes and major issues with his Masculinity. The story about defendant and and young boy going on vacation together with the mother is terrifying. It shows just how weird and creepy he is. And how he would discipline his own boys, if he had them. I pleased with the ending. And very interested in the relationship btw Defendant and author.

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.

Great book, not great narrator
I first read this book a few years ago when we lived in Corregidor Courts on Ft. Bragg, and am listening to it again now. The book is incredibly well written, giving very detailed information and insight. I am not a fan of the narrator (Fred Sanders), his reading is extremely flat and lacks any type of personality. He's just one step above sounding like a computer generated reading voice. This may have been read way intentionally, but is not my cup of tea.

Joe McGinnis is a good man...and thorough.
I was gripped from the beginning, I'd actually never heard of the Jeffrey Macdonald case and had to stop myself googling anything about it whilst listening to the audio book. I almost got bored for a lot of the legal talk but you can't say Mcginniss left out anything of any significance in editing. I recently read (and loved) The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe Mcginniss so I had to check out his other releases, this being an altogether different affair but of no lessing in quality. highly recommended.

Great audiobook...
For those who still doubt his guilt this audiobook is a must-read. Incredibly detailed, well formatted and jaw dropping. His personality is that of any other narcissist - following to the letter the same pattern of grandiosity - ‘I’m the smartest guy in the room’, ‘everyone else is stupid’ and ‘everyone will believe oh-so-amazing-me because it’s oh-so-amazing-me telling my version of events.’ ‘How dare anyone not?’ Puts me in mind of Ted Bundy who denied, denied, denied and only confessed when his life was on the line. I don’t think he ever would have otherwise. This man will never confess.

Excellent, his voice has the gravitas necessary for the story.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Always, I read it years ago and it resonance continues, however, for me the psychological aspects and analysis of the people involved are the really stunning aspects of this work. If only McGinnis were still alive and could use his skills to write a biography on Trump.
Any additional comments?
It has to be one of the true crime classic of all time. It’s up there with In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter. Controversial in its time for reasons explained in the last chapter, its an awesome work. The story of how a doctor and Green Beret soldier was found guilty of the horrific murder of his wife and children. It is intense in detail maybe too detailed for some, but that is to my liking. The portrayal of Jeffrey MacDonald and his rather subtle narcissistic personality traits is both fascinating and relevant. These are the days before DNA and it’s a very circumstantial case, however, the real forensic search occurs outside of the courtroom in the dissection of personality, status, excpectations, interpretations and the investigation centres on not only how this most brutal of crimes took place but more interestingly why.
