The Lost Diary of M/ Paul Wolfe

So, I read this book over the weekend because I couldn’t put it down! The M in the title is Mary Pinchot Meyer, mistress of JFK, ex-wife of Cord Meyer, CIA.
The author, Paul Wolfe, takes us on a wild ride in this one. It is written as Mary’s hypothetical diary during the time she spent with JFK. Hypothetical, because the CIA found her diary after the assassination and destroyed it. FACT. I had to keep reminding myself that this book was historical FICTION because I absolutely believe this is the way history was made 1960-63. (In the author’s notes, Wolfe reminds us more than once it is fiction)
Great book, well written, fast paced, intriguing and plausible.
Starts out with Mary writing to her friend in Japan, if you are reading this, then I am dead”...then she tells us who did it. Chapters are titled by dates, and as the dates count down, you want to keep reading because you know it’s coming to November 1964. The book ends with Mary P Meyer’s unsolved murder less than a year later.
Can’t say enough, coming to book stores next month, Harper Collins, Publisher...a must read!
