2026-01-11 16:00 - 17:00
Are you a true crime fan? Don’t miss our Author Talk with Rich Cohen on Sunday, January 11 at 4 pm. His latest book, Murder in the Dollhouse: The Jennifer Dulos Story details the nail-biting investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Jennifer Dulos in 2019 and the aftershocks that rattled the nearby suburb of New Canaan, CT.
In 2019, the quiet suburb of New Canaan, CT was shocked by the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five who vanished one morning after dropping her kids off at school. In the wake of her disappearance, Dulos’s husband and his girlfriend were arrested. He killed himself on the day he was supposed to report to court; she was tried and convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, despite the fact that to this day Jennifer Dulos has never been found. The girlfriend is currently trying to have her conviction overturned.
Murder in the Dollhouse is his latest, but Rich Cohen is also known as the best-selling author of Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football; The Sun & the Moon & the Rolling Stones; and The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse.

Rich’s talk will be followed by a book signing. Our thanks to Ridgefield’s Books on the Common, which will be providing books for sale at this event.
