This A-list selection looks in depth at 25 headline murder cases involving those who live their lives in the full beam of the media spotlight, including film starlets, TV actors, music legends, comedians, fashion moguls, movie directors, playwrights, and aristocrats from the start of the twentieth century to the present day. All, from Gianni Versace and John Lennon to Marvin Gaye and Patrizia Gucci, are well known, and in each instance the story of their untimely death is retold and the degree to which fame and its trappings played a part in the final outcome is explored. The Mammoth Book of Celebrity Murder offers a salacious examination of the murders that are played out in the glare of maximum publicity and paparazzi.

Customer Review: Interesting book of celebrity death

I found myself hardly able to put this huge book down once I started it. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers, some of the facts of the book are wrong, but overall I found it to be an interesting read. If you are into the true crime genre and are interested in celebrities, then this is the book for you! It proves also that just because you are rich and famous that doesn't exclude you from having something tragic and unexpected happen to you. Enjoy!

Customer Review: A Bit Skeptical

The book is a good read. But - I agree with both reviewers below: The editing is atrocious; and the fact-checking was careless. There are some outright doubtful statements. The Lana Turner story involves the shooting of her lover by her daughter. This took place in 1958. The book describes the event as "the new Hollywood scandal which had already been dubbed 'Lanagate'." Lanagate? As in Watergate? The Watergate affair took place in 1972. Those Hollywood types must be psychic, eh?
