Trade Review
Admirable! You do not have to agree with all his conclusions to see that Wolfe takes us very close indeed to the dark truth about Monroe, the Kennedys and that lonely death in the Californian night. * Anthony Summers, author of GODDESS: THE SECRET LIVES OF MARILYN MONROE *
I want to restate my great admiration for Don Wolfe's magnificent, trend-setting biography of Marilyn Monroe. Mr Wolfe has far surpassed my exhaustive work and even Anthony Summer s' tour de force in 1985. * Peter Brown, co-author of MARILYN: THE LAST TAKE *
Donald Wolfe has written one of the most absorbing accounts of Marilyn's life to date. It is a masterful work. * Fred Lawrence, author of NORMA JEAN *
A quietly written testimony that moves relentlessly towards a conclusion that is both plausible and convincing. * NEW STATESMAN *
