The death of Mary Meyer left many Americans with questions. Who really killed her? Why did CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton rush to find and confiscate her diary? Had she discovered the plan to assassinate her lover, President Kennedy, with the trail of information ending at the steps of the CIA? Was it only coincidence that she was killed less than three weeks after the release of the Warren Commission Report?

Fans of The Murder of Mary Russell, JFK: A Vision for America, and other JFK books will love Mary’s Mosaic. Building and relying on years of interviews and painstaking research, author Peter Janney follows the key events and influences in Mary Pinchot Meyer’s life—her first meeting with Jack Kennedy; her support of her secret lover, President Kennedy, as he worked towards the pursuit of world peace and away from the Cold War; and her exploration of psychedelic drugs. Fifty years after the assassinations of President Kennedy and Mary Meyer, this book helps readers understand why both took place. 

Author Peter Janney fought for two years to obtain documents from the National Personnel Records Center and the US Army to complete this third edition. It includes a final chapter about the mystery man who could be the missing piece to learn the truth behind Meyer’s murder.

Ratings and reviews

It is often said ‘We may never know’ what truly happened or who was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. Reading this book with it’s exhaustive research and meticulous attention to detail I think we already do. The author examines the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer, the mother of a childhood friend, who also happened to be a close confidant, and lover, of the President. There are a great many parallels in the ensuing ‘cover-up’ of both murders which the author spent many years examining and he ultimately reveals the truth to both. It’s a chilling read of a time when certain agencies seemed to run wild without conscience or oversight. We can only hope those days are behind us. This book is widely regarded as one of the very best with regard to the Kennedy assassination and it’s easy to see why. Updated and re-released to include any further information the author manages to uncover it really is as comprehensive as it is possible to get.

Good book, very interesting, and it is informative!
