About this listen

In 1964, Mary Pinchot Meyer, the beautiful, rebellious, and intelligent ex-wife of a top CIA official, was killed on a quiet Georgetown towpath near her home. Mary Meyer was a secret mistress of President John F. Kennedy, whom she had known since private school days, and after her death, reports that she had kept a diary set off a tense search by her brother-in-law, newsman Ben Bradlee, and CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton.

But the only suspect in her murder was acquitted, and today her life and death are still a source of intense speculation, as Nina Burleigh reveals in her widely praised book, the first to examine this haunting story.

a lot of information in this book but an awful lot of back story that prevents the actual story progressing

very drawn out

The dreadful stilted narration and over detailed and monotonous prose. Thank goodness it was a free book, worth exactly what I paid for it!

Mote dialogue than content.

What a story. From her beginning to end. Her murder is a strange one. Rather gripping
