Just mind blowing to see all the facts about what really went on with her death. I always knew she was murdered but very sad what happened to her. But hopefully this book will open up people's eyes to who the Kennedys' were and why they did this.

One for book club and the conspiracy theorists! Did Marilyn Monroe really commit suicide? What happened in the weeks and months leading up to her death? Who was there when she died and could it have been a massive cover up?
Mike Rothmiller was a detective with the LAPD OCID, an independent team within the force charged with collecting information on all the big players in Hollywood, LA and California. His time with the OCID he claims to have found evidence which proves without a shadow of a doubt that both the mafia and the Whitehouse had connections with Marilyn and that her death had been decreed long before she supposedly overdosed on sleeping pills.
This book is really interesting if a bit clunky to read. The inner workings of LAPD From the 1920s up to the 1980s are examined in detail and the levels of corruption discussed are both fascinating and appalling. Reading this post #MeToo also put some real context on Marilyn’s victimhood in Hollywood and the way female stars in particular were viewed as chattel by both the studios and their co-stars.

Really comprehensive study of everyone involved in the mysterious circumstances of Monroe's death. Well presented and with the right amount of detail.

I thought that the author was really credible and I was interested in the plot - however I was really struggling with the writing style. I found an interview of him explaining his investigation on YouTube which I watched instead of finishing the book. If you had a similar problem I would recommend that.
