Product Description
Book Description
A startlingly revealing book about the life and death of one of the 20th century's greatest icons, based on a never-before-seen transcript of tapes Marilyn Monroe made for her psychiatrist in the days and weeks before she died.
Product Description
Suicide? Or murder? Marilyn Monroe's death in August 1962, apparently a suicide, shocked the world. A Hollywood star, a global icon, why would she have killed herself? Yet the coroner's report stated her death was due to a massive overdose of 47 Nembutal capsules. But what about the discrepancies between the official report and the scene of her death? What about the forensic evidence that went missing shortly after she died? Matthew Smith has constructed a startling new version of events. His interpretation is based not only on the full and true forensic evidence from the time, but also on the tapes that Marilyn made for her psychiatrist in the days and weeks before her death, tapes that portray a woman in full charge of her life and looking forward to a bright, busy, successful future. Forty years after her death, Marilyn remains an icon and a mystery. Matthew Smith's investigation into her death will lead to a new understanding of what really happened on the night of August 5th 1962 and in the weeks leading up to it. (20030909)

This book is a fascinating read, when it talks about the statements made by those involved in Marilyn's life before she died, and also the autopsy reports, however it is a very heavy going book with a lot of information to take in at once. I'm not one for politics so some of it went way over my head when referring to the Kennedys and the Mafia etc, but I still thought it was an interesting book.
The author is very believable when he makes his statement about who he believes killed Marilyn, but I'm not going to give that away - you'll have to read it for yourself!

I've always admired and at the same time have always been so glad I wasn't Marilyn. Unrivaled beauty and charm, but so tortured and used. You feel so sorry for her, the woman so many women thought they wanted to be. Take the style, take the magnitism, but wouldn't have ever wanted the life. Wonderful book that takes you into her world. Read it!

This book was a very exciting read, how ever I expected there to be more transcripts of the 'Secret Tapes' and there only ended up being a few pages. However it was a good read nonetheless.
