KOURI RICHINS: THE GRIEF BOOK CASE: A True-Crime Account of Eric Richins’ Death, the Fentanyl Verdict, Money, Marriage, and the Courtroom Story Behind the Headlines

A grief book. A dead husband. A courtroom verdict that changed everything.

When Eric Richins died in March 2022, the public first saw a story of loss. His wife, Kouri Richins, later became known for writing a children’s book about grief after his death, a detail that drew national attention and made the case impossible to ignore.

But what first appeared to be a public story of mourning later became a criminal case built around fentanyl, money, insurance, alleged deception, and courtroom evidence.

Kouri Richins: The Grief Book, the Fentanyl Verdict, and the Death of Eric Richins is a clear, carefully researched true-crime account of the case that shocked America.
