INGA Kennedy's Great Love, Hitler's Perfect Beauty, and J. Edgar Hoover's Prime Suspect

Danish journalist Inga Arvad is the complex woman who is purported to be the greatest love of JFK's young adult life. She was also a special guest of Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Inga was a gossip columnist who was suspected of being a Nazi spy. The countless Hitchcockian twists and turns of her story are articulately recounted, though the author's narration leaves much to be desired. Farris takes a workmanlike approach. His delivery lacks any notable flair to engage listeners to follow the breakneck tour of Arvad's life. Sadly, several French expressions are mangled in pronunciation. A little-known great beauty who led an intriguing life is brought to life-- but without much listening appeal. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2017]
