About this listen

Was What's My Line TV star, media icon, and crack investigative reporter and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen murdered for writing a tell-all book about the JFK assassination? If so, is the main suspect in her death still at large?

These questions and more are answered in former CNN, ESPN, and USA Today legal analyst Mark Shaw's 25th book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much. Through discovery of never-before-seen videotaped eyewitness interviews with those closest to Kilgallen and secret government documents, Shaw unfolds a "whodunit" murder mystery featuring suspects including Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Mafia Don Carlos Marcello, and a "mystery man" who may have silenced Kilgallen. All while by presenting through Kilgallen's eyes the most compelling evidence about the JFK assassinations since the House Select Committee on Assassination's investigation in the 1970s.

Called by the New York Post "the most powerful female voice in America" and by acclaimed author Mark Lane "the only serious journalist in America who was concerned with who killed John Kennedy and getting all of the facts about the assassination," Kilgallen's official cause of death, reported as an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol, has always been suspect since no investigation occurred despite the death scene having been staged. Shaw proves Kilgallen, a remarkable woman who broke the "glass ceiling" before the term became fashionable, was denied the justice she deserved - until now.

Incredibly informative and justifying my long time suspicions. Government is obviously a continuous corrupt entity.

Great story and great book. The first half of the book was a biography of her life, which was great. From there it’s largely conjecture about what might have happened. As she was investigating a conspiracy, and the author is investigating her death, it's conspiracy upon conspiracy here, which I can only take so much of. It felt like it could have been 2 hours shorter. Lots here for those fascinated by the JFK assignation.

She was a pioneer

I was looking forward to the book. Not disappointed in the story however, I felt there was a lot of repetitiveness so I kept wondering whether if I had gone back. Very frustrating. Very sad her death was swept under rug. No human deserves that.

How brains & determination will create such a force.
