About this listen

Bobby called. He's coming to California. He wants to see me.

Drawing on secret police files, Marilyn Monroe's private diary and never-before-published first-hand testimony, this audiobook proves that Robert Kennedy was directly responsible for her death. It details the legendary star's tumultuous personal involvement with him and his brother, President John Kennedy, and how they sought to silence her.

The new evidence and testimony is provided by Mike Rothmiller, who, as a detective of the Organized Crime Intelligence Division of the LAPD, had direct personal access to hundreds of files on exactly what happened to Marilyn Monroe in 1962. With his training and investigator's knowledge, Rothmiller used that information to get to the heart of the matter, to the people who were there the night Marilyn died—two of whom played major roles in the cover-up—and the wider conspiracy to protect the Kennedys at all costs.

Critic reviews

"The claims are hard to believe...but the source is so solid and credible that you will find this amazing story hard to dismiss.” (Daily Mail)

Didn’t like the narrator’s voice although it had a strange hypnotic sound which put me to sleep very quickly first time. Very interesting about the LAPD and I believe Marilyn monroe didn’t commit suicide

A comprehensive look into the death of Marilyn monroe. Highly recommend. Easy to listen to narrator too.

Fantastic

Enjoyed this book but left feeling incredibly sad for the way Marilyn Monroe was exploited. If the conclusion is correct any smidgen of like I had for the Kennedys, and this is relative to other dislikeable politicians, has evaporated. Fate perhaps played out its hand in 63 and 68.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Narrator was excellent, writing was so well put and easy to follow I have just purchased more of the author’s work!

liked it all but perhaps to much detail
I will read it again not everything I listened to was easy to absorb

the truth

If this account is true and I believe it is , as I’ve listened to many Kennedy books . There is so much evidence to back up the theory. Looks like JFK and Bobby both got their karma in the end. R.I.P poor Marilyn.

Karma

I have no doubt that Marilyn was murdered and I’d like to trust this book, but it gets fundamental things wrong, such as the date of the assassination of JKF (the book says 23 November instead of 22 - chapter Some Like It Hot p128). There were a few other things too that I can’t quite recall… it’s baffling that something so simple was overlooked.

Interesting but flawed
