It's been a long time since I've read a book that I simply could NOT put down. I had never read a "true crime" book before until now, nor had I ever heard of Aphrodite Jones before. As a matter of fact, I found her while looking up an MJ video on YouTube and saw "Michael Jackson - Aphrodite Jones" and thought "Aphrodite Jones" was an MJ song/video I'd never heard or seen before. LOL! And, that's my funny story about how I found this little gem of a book.

Since I was, obviously, not that big of a fan, I didn't pay too much attention to the 1993 stuff and in 2003 when he was in trouble again for allegedly the same thing, well, I shook my head and thought "They finally got him!" But then, that day a few years later when he was acquitted of all 14 counts - 14! I became a little skeptical. You would think that if someone was TRULY GUILTY, something would have stuck, right? Hmmmm....

Life goes on, and I didn't care too much. I figured Michael Jackson was gone for good. (I certainly would have been!) Then after he died, I started to do my own research into the case and came to my own conclusions about the whole sorry mess. My thinking about Michael Jackson - and those ugly allegations against him, changed quite drastically and that's when I found this book. It arrived on a Friday; I was done by Saturday.

Mrs. Jones gets a standing ovation from me and 5 gold stars. It's quite apparent - after reading this - why a jury found Michael Jackson "not guilty." Not only did I come away from this fascinating read thinking MJ innocent of the 2003 allegations; I came away thinking he was innocent of the 1993 allegations as well.

This book is one that EVERYONE should read. It is a wake-up call to everybody to question the media and their motives. ( )
