Publisher's summary

On the Saturday following Mary Meyer's murder, five people gathered at her Georgetown home and tore it apart searching for the secret diary. Sometime before she died, Mary had entrusted to her friends James and Ann Truitt the fact of her affair with JFK and the existence of a diary recounting some of her evenings with the president.

In "The Mysterious Murder of JFK's Mistress", Ron Rosenbaum investigates the murder of Mary Pinochet Meyer, whose affair with President John F. Kennedy became tabloid fodder, and who was found shot to death on October 12, 1964. Immediately after her death, one of the CIA's top priorities was finding the diary in which Meyer chronicled her relationship with the late president and the secrets they shared.

"The Mysterious Murder of JFK's Mistress" was originally published in New Times, October 1976, and co-authored with Philip Nobile.

skip this one, read the real story in "mary's mosaic"

if youre interested in a true exploration of mary meyers relationship with jfk, and an incredible piece of non-fiction writing to boot, read "mary's mosaic" immediately. this piece, by comparison, is superficial--perhaps even written with an agenda. get the real deal and the final word on the topic of mary meyer and jfk. get mary's mosaic. its incredible.

Superficial dismissal of a fishy murder

A quick, superficial little dismissal of a very fishy murder (one of many surrounding JFK). Takes the time to smear JFK, while defending CIA agent Jesus James Angleton as some honorable, trustworthy guy, but doesn't really delve deeply into anything below the surface.

Shares the facts and the Truth. Wrong and prejudiced conclusions

This is a shallow overview of a much deeper story. The postscript pushes a conclusion that there are zero connections between Mary’s unsolved murder and the JFK/CIA led assassination.

A thinking reader will know and understand the simple connection between Angleton breaking into Mary’s home in search of her telling diary. One thing the spooks DIDN’T care about, was hiding JFK’s philandering.

Angleton-top CIA spook, breaking into her home, to seek and destroy evidence she had, which she was preparing to tell, indicts the CIA, and is self-evident to everyone but the moronic spin-doctor, instructed on how to write the postscript.

I’d say that’s EVIDENCE! The postscript conclusions are so obviously wrong, that it blows the actual cover, which the writer is clearly attempting to construct. Overselling a cover IS blowing a cover.

The author basically says the jury got it wrong! Not! He says Angleton is “deep throat” when any moron knows it was FBI-Felt. Another stupid lie.

The readers should always remember that the CIA named itself. Angleton spent years and many sleepless nights looking for his internal CIA mole, and the rat was right next to Angleton, his best friend for years, Kim Philby. Now that’s intelligence!? Evil turns on evil and the criminal mind always leaves often obvious clues, returns to the scene of the crime, and makes critical errors in judgement, which they do not see. That’s why they’re criminals!

The CIA must have an unsolved murder victims diary about her relationship with a Presidential assassination victim, and that “black bag” job had to be done by Angleton himself, to be sure it was done right and so no one else needed to know?

Okay, no connection. Bla bla bla. Nixon knew about the “Bay of Pigs thing” and used that leverage to get the CIA to halt the FBI watergate investigation . So, those 18 minutes MUST be destroyed, just like David Ferrie, De Mohrenshildt, RFK, Garrisons Investigation, a Texas Autopsy, the huge exit wound, and other people and evidences, MUST and were, destroyed.
See David Talbots book, The Devils Chessboard, which puts the whole affair to rest, after hundreds of books on the subject, it’s now an open CIA secret.

There will be no admissions or confessions by the guilty people behind “the Big Event” and Mary’s murder.

We don’t need one now. Oil, LBJ, Hoover, Giancana’s crew, Dulles, Cabel(s), Bush Sr., Ford, Murchison, Hunt, Richardson, Angleton, Oswald, Ruby, Dr. Bryant, Morales, Philips and the rest. Mary’s murder was Collaterol damage, just like Marilyn Monroe.
There’s only one conclusion and it certainly isn’t the one spun in the postscript to this clearly erroneous account.

Geez, if Ferrie, George D. Oswald, Ruby and so many others had to go, Mary certainly earned a bullet with her name on it. Her murder is already solved, we don’t need a confession.

Freakin , Nazi loving unamerican treasonous traitors to our Country, mocks our Constitution and spits on the graves of every single patriotic American who served and gave their lives and limbs and minds, so that this seditious criminality would not take place within our borders.

All I can say is these lowlife thugs, extorting our tax money, draped in our flag, swearing to protect and uphold that which they brazenly violated daily, and trust me, still do; should be on their knees praying hard, that there is no God,

Waste of Time

There is not much here beyond a recounting of events. Even though the writer claims unique knowledge about the case, the absence on anything substantive leads me to doubt this. There is nothing new here, certainly nothing to warrant “mysterious”. Conclusions are nearly 100 percent conjecturer and not backed up by anything but the writer’s own word. Don’t waste your time on this. The reader is good, though...voice kind of sounds like Johnny Carson.

Disappointed

I’m not sure what I expected. The book does contain some interesting information but it leaves you hanging abruptly.
