Perfect for you if...

You're fascinated by Old Hollywood glamour and the real stories behind the myths that shaped cinema history.
You love true crime that reads like a thriller, with the kind of page-turning momentum Patterson's known for.
You want a meticulously researched account that goes beyond tabloid gossip and actually examines the evidence and players involved.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your true crime purely investigative and academic, without the novelistic flourishes that dramatise events.
You're looking for a definitive answer to what happened. This book explores possibilities and contradictions rather than closing the case.
You haven't got patience for celebrity scandal or early 1960s Hollywood politics and would find the context tedious.

About this book

The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe examines the final period of the actress's life, tracing her activities in the months, weeks, days, and hours before her death. During this time, she worked on the script for her unfinished film Something's Got to Give, spent time photographing on Santa Monica Beach, stayed as a guest at the Cal Neva Lodge's Celebrity Room, and had an argument with US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and Peter Lawford. In a session with her psychiatrist, she reflected on her status and personal life. Monroe's superstardom during her lifetime remains difficult to categorize, and her death continues to be surrounded by mystery. The book includes anecdotes and details about this period of her life, presented with narrative pacing. On June 1, 2026, the world would mark what would have been Monroe's one hundredth birthday.
