About This Audiobook
Carlton Smith’s *Blood Money* isn’t your average true crime tale—it’s a lurid dive into the kind of wealth and privilege that warps justice. The book zeroes in on the 1983 murder of Olympic wrestler Davey Moore, allegedly orchestrated by John du Pont, the eccentric heir to the Du Pont chemical fortune. What makes this story feel like a real-life thriller is Smith’s knack for exposing the grotesque contrasts: the gold-plated excess of du Pont’s estate against the humbling violence of his downfall. The audiobook’s pacing mirrors the tension of the crime itself, with Smith’s reporting keeping listeners hooked like a prime-time episode of *Dateline*. David de Vries’ narration is the cherry on top—a measured, gravelly voice that suits the material’s ominous tone without overplaying the theatrics. If you crave true crime with a side of old-money rot, this is the audiobook for you.
