The Mysterious Murder of JFKs Mistress (Singles Classic) Reviews
-
I think the problem here was I just don't care. It sounds like conspiracy theory and I'm just not that into that. I did appreciate the tag at the end, though, providing an update since the original publication.

Another conspiracy theory
Okay quick read about one of JFK's alleged mistresses who met a tragic end. Sad story but considering the toxic effect the Kennedys had on those around them not surprising. -
Forgotten figure
Short well written piece on a forgotten, for me anyway, figure from history. The focus of conspiracy theories but as usual probably a the victim of random effects. Mistress seems to be an overstatement and the connection with the watergate scandal is a connection that will thrill conspiracy completists. -
Hmmmmm
Yet another woman who had an affair with JFK. She ends up dead after his assassination and her murder is unsolved. And her diary. Was it copied? And where is that copy if it exists?
A very short story that lays out known facts . And speculations. -
Great late night reading
This is a great book. Really great for anyone that enjoys a good read about JFK. Great over all short book. -
Nothing new
Don't waste your time on this. Just a rehash of what was already known. What does it matter now anyway? -
very interesting and informative. short and sweet!!
-
Good short read.
Interesting short read. Not really what I was expecting but I enjoyed it. Interesting look at an unsolved crime. Good -
Not very interesting
Just the usual Conspiracy theories. It was like reading a news article. Would not suggest. 2 hours I will never get back -
#66 of 120 books pledged to read during 2019

Short quick read
Just add this to the many other conspiracies surrounding JFK. So many people involved and no one has a clue what really happened. -
Hardly anything about the affair itself, which was clearly what I wanted to read about! The rest was tedious, gossipy hearsay.
-
Well, basically a recap of something I didn't actually know about, I thought it would be of more interest than it was.
-
Not necessarily my genre. I have stumbled upon a somewhat fun and intriguing murder mystery. The mention of Nixon tickled me.
-
This is a short read about yet another conspiracy surrounding JFK. The book gives the surrounding facts/findings of what happened but doesn't go that deep. The writer did an okay job with the information he had, but the information presented was really only surface level and it was hard to keep my attention at times. If your looking for something quick and interesting then I would recommend it, but don't expect anything more than what you would get from a lengthy article which is exactly what this is, or a concise documentary.

The author, Ron Rosenbaum, investigates the murder of President John F. Kennedy's mistress. Her diary, which supposedly told of her affair with the president could not be located upon her death. He discusses who may have murdered her and what may have happened to the diary.
It sounds like it would be an interesting read but it wasn't. The author several times used the National Enquirer for a source. That immediately turned me off. -
Fascinating
For anyone that likes conspiracy theories, this is a must read. I thought it would explain more of Mary's personality, reasons for her un-friendship with Jackie. I like conspiracy theories. Especially around JFK. I could see it tied to the assignation in 1963. Makes for a more fascinating and interesting tale for the rest of us. -
Quick, interesting read about yet another one of JFK's mistresses who 'died' under mysterious circumstances. I can't help but think that the truth about her death is much closer than anyone is willing to admit, but that due to the nature of her involvement with the late president, nobody will say. Tragic. But nicely written and an easy read.
-
Interesting but, ultimately nothing new.
It's a little disjointed. Starts off slowly but builds for a moment. Then gets bogged down with references to minor art and not much real detail on the case.
