Daily Mirror

«Praise for When Marilyn Met the Queen: This entertaining account of a brief interlude in Marilyn's helter-skelter life leaves you with fresh admiration for the way she navigated the merciless scrutiny of the world and the hefty expectations placed upon her.»

Daily Express

«When Marilyn Met the Queen is written in lively fashion, keeping the reader's attention with a series of snippets that are as revealing about 1950s Britain as they are about film-making. Morgan covers the familiar highlights of the stay, including Monroe's persistent tardiness, the frosty relationship with Olivier, the media circus and jostling crowds attendant on her every move, and Olivier's annoyance at Paula Strasberg's coaching of the star on set.»

Times Literary Supplement

«Praise for the author's Private and Undisclosed: A gorgeous collection offering a fascinating insight into Monroe's personal life.»

Woman and Home

Judith Reveal, New York Journal of Books

«Praise for the author's The Ice Cream Blonde: Todd's life was an exciting one, and Morgan brings it to life very well on the page, making the book one to be devoured in just a couple of sittings.»

The Motion Pictures

«Praise for the author's The Ice Cream Blonde: The Ice Cream Blonde is well worth your time. It's a very enjoyable and informative read that I found hard to put down.»

The Hollywood Review

«Praise for the author's Carole Lombard: An entertaining and lucid biography.»

We Are Cult

«Praise for the author's The Little Book of Marilyn: A veritable treasure trove of all things Monroe.»

Bill Biss, Rage Magazine

«Praise for the author's The Body Beneath the Flagstones, and Other Victorian Scandals: Ghoulishly entertaining.»

Jacqueline Banerjee, The Times Literary Supplement

«Praise for the author's The Body Beneath the Flagstones, and Other Victorian Scandals: This is a great book for dipping into . . . the cases themselves are written engagingly and with appealing dramatization of key events.»

Kim Fleet, Crime Review

«The real strength of Morgan's book is her ability to place four months in a famous woman's life under a microscope: who she met, what she wore, how she felt. Monroe's genuine excitement about meeting the Queen and her endless friendliness to the fans who loved her are endearing. What emerges is not only a close-up of Marilyn but also a picture of someone who, like many of us, romanticizes people and places only to find disappointment.»
