Although an interesting listen (narrator is somewhat monotonous) & proposing plausible theories, the author’s extreme prejudice against RFK (minimizing JFK’s role, if any) to the exclusion of others, is stunningly one-sided.
He excludes any of RFK’s critical role in civil rights, the war against poverty, Vietnam War, organized crime & more. I have read & listened to probably 100 books on the deaths of those written about in this book. I feel there is a high probability that MM was murdered.
But the author, while describing MM as an avid reader, taking courses at UCLA, being interested in international politics, pretty much glosses over the sudden naivety he attributes to her in thinking that a press conference revealing her affairs w/JFK/RFK and threats to divulge national security secrets, contacts w/organized crime figures was either justified, a normal response or one that would not endanger her.
I think he’s better on JFK, Ruby & DK, but felt he used this information (some pretty well known), to slip in this obsession w/RFK by bundling it in with evidence regarding the rest & skipping through other entities w/motives to kill MM.
This spoiled the book for me. Note that he saves his worst salvaging of RFK until near the end, although it runs throughout the book.
