Critics Review

The fullest factual account of Monroe’s life and death we’re likely to get– Evening Standard

The fullest factual account of Monroe’s life and death we’re likely to get * Evening Standard *
Convincing evidence of a crude but effective cover-up which was designed to protect Robert Kennedy * Times Literary Supplement *
Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will * Guardian *
The most authoritative account ever written about the greatest sex symbol of them all * Woman *
A remarkable performance … The ghost of Marilyn Monroe cries out in these pages * New York Times *
[Marilyn] was a genius, a sorceress who could stimulate the world’s sexuality and still seem innocent, turn on a light and become ‘Marilyn Monroe.’ And she has become eternal. This is the most believable, useful book of all the books about her – Harvey Wasserman, former professor of psychiatry, Yale University College of Medicine
Mesmerizing … reads like something out of a Robert Ludlum thriller * BOSTON GLOBE *
A very fine piece of writing * LITERARY REVIEW *
Anthony Summers is one of the most highly skilled investigative reporters writing today – Norman Mailer
