The Assassination of Marilyn Monroe

I have read many biographys on Marilyn and this is hands down the best one ever written. Very well researched with plenty of facts to back up statements. Wolfe's writing will give you a very detailed description of what it was like to be there the morning of her death and of the investigation. Also a very good biography of her life. Not just another Marilyn Monroe biography. A definite must have for any Marilyn fan!

This book touched me. Not only does it give you insite in to what really happened that terrible night so long ago, but insight into who Marilyn Monroe really was and some of the reasons behind some of the things she did. The inter-linking of people that entered her life, the Kennedy's, her childhood, marriages, and the details of that terrible night of her death (murder to be sure) are all there. There have been so many books on Marilyn Monroe and speculation of how she died. I read it and kept shaking my head that so many people "got away with" so much! The lies, the cover ups, the "lost" evidence. It's all there. You can't help but feel sorry for a woman that just wanted to be loved, and discusted at the way the investigation (what a joke) was handled. People went to their graves with secrets, but the secrets are out now. If you are a Marilyn fan or into conspiracy theories, this is a great book!

This book was simply superb, and it contained a lot of hidden information unknown to me. For instance, the lovechild betweenMarilyn and Kennedy and the scandalous secrets about the ... Kennedys that led to her death. The author has a very introspective view of the complete chaos her life was in during the end, and of treacherous friends who had woven a web of deceit around her plying her with drugs to keep her off balanceand confused. Luring her to Cal-Neva to be sexually abused and silenced by threats if she persisted in pursuing the Kennedys and vowing to hold a tell-all news conferance that would have been the end of Camelot. Oh! the shame of it all, heres a girl who had it all, beauty, fame and fortune but no inner peace for the tortured Norma Jean. For as it says "What does it mean to gain the whole world but lose your soul"!I highly recommend this book for anyone who holds a good thoughtfor Marilyn, and is searching for the truth asto how she reallydied, laying to rest the lies and coverup of the suicide theory,kept in place for over forty years. Dynamite!! 3 thumbs up!!!

I have always been fascinated by Marilyn Monroe and often wondered how and why she died so young. There are so many conflicting theroies, but the contents of this book are little short of explosive. They may not be correct, though someone must know the truth? Seems never published in the USA. Why not? Has someone got something to hide. Methinks... probably YES! ....
