A Very Private Woman: The Life and Unsolved Murder of Presidential Mistress Mary Meyer by Nina Burleigh

emotional informative reflective slow-paced

3.75

really informative book, but sometimes suffers just because of when it was published, i think. more information about cia actions has come out since the late 90s, which might have made the book more comprehensive. but it was still probably the most informative and unbiased account of mary pinchot’s life… peter janney’s doesn’t count because he saw her naked that one time, and i wanted to read this before i read his book. i found the descriptions of mary pinchot’s art particularly interesting, and the conclusions nina burleigh comes to about angleton and other cia officers are interesting, if slightly unrelated to the topic of the book at times…
