BORN IN THE SHADOWS. LIVED FOR THE SPOTLIGHT. WAS SHE MURDERED?

Before Marilyn Monroe, there was Norma Jeane. No one would have thought that the girl who spent her childhood between foster homes and orphanages would one day become a global star.

The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe tells the extraordinary story of Marilyn Monroe’s life – and the shocking circumstances of her death.

For decades, fans have speculated about the truth of her final days. Was it suicide? A tragic accident? Murder? Drawn from rigorous research, this book seeks answers.

Told in vivid, dramatic scenes, James Patterson and Imogen Edwards-Jones uncover the life and death of the remarkable woman who was Marilyn Monroe.

'It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: nobody does it better.' JEFFERY DEAVER

'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' LEE CHILD

'Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.' MICHAEL CONNELLY

'James Patterson is The Boss. End of.' IAN RANKIN

Just another biography of Marilyn Monroe. Not focussed on her last days ( only final chapter). Reads like fiction but nothing new to tell.

Title is misleading

The title and author mislead me into thinking it would be powerful. I expected her last days revealed and not another rehash of her whole tragic life. Sections were informative but nothing more than a long-winded recount of a story we know well. Disappointed with the robotic narrator and her AI Americana style.

The whole book,excellent, one of the best audio books I've listened to. Couldn't wait to listen to each chapter, wasn't to long or drawn out.

Narration brilliant

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Marilyn's story was interesting but the performance was disappointing. The men all sounded the same. It would have been better to just read it to us.

I was really impressed with this biography of Marilyn Monroe. I thought it dealt sensitively with her life, ambition and self doubt.

Great narration from Meg Price
