Ex 'TPIR' Models Books

[The Pyramids]

I recently finished reading Kathleen Bradley's book and enjoyed it. I think, however, that I had read about all of the books salacious details here already. I wonder how much she might have dreaded having to give another deposition and see Barker again in 2004.

For those who might have once read Janice Pennington's book did you find it worth your time? One Amazon reviewer called it 'eighth grade prose'.

Kathleen's book was very good. Couldn't really stop reading once I started.

Janice's book was more about Fritz than anything else with a little Price sprinkled in.

I've got it in paperback, but I've only skimmed it (I worked for the company that published the paperback edition).  It's almost exclusively about the loss of her first husband and her personal life - TPIR is mostly mentioned only in passing.

It would have helped if there was an acknowledgments page - I'm sure somebody helped Janice and Carlos de Abreu put the book together.  But the writing is far better than that of eighth graders.

A typical "Amazon reviewer" on the other hand...

Ahem. They prefer the term "e-commerce influencer."

Right around the time the book came out, Janice appeared on Sally. Not knowing she had a book out, or what it was about, I remember being a bit surprised that there was very little mention of TPiR, and more about her husband's double life.

Always disappointed me that a lot of books by people I knew primarily for game shows (Henry Morgan, Arlene Francis, Kitty Carlisle) didn't touch on them much.  Apparently, it was a tiny sliver of their lives.
