Mr. Book thanks Gallery Books for providing an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed are Mr. Book’s own.

Mr. Book loved the Who Killed JFK? podcast. The whole time he was listening, he kept thinking it would make an excellent book. The book did not disappoint.

The authors do an excellent job covering the full story. They go back to the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis to explain how Kennedy’s foreign policy changed and why that mattered to the people they examine as possible conspirators. They also spend considerable time on Lee Harvey Oswald before Dallas, from his defection to the Soviet Union to the disputed accounts of his activities in Mexico City. That background helps explain why the authors question the Warren Commission’s account of Oswald.

The coverage of the medical evidence was especially good. The authors take readers from the doctors who treated Kennedy at Parkland Memorial Hospital to the botched autopsy at Bethesda. One detail that stood out to Mr. Book was that James Humes, the lead pathologist, burned his original notes. The authors explain why the loss of those notes matters when trying to reconcile what the doctors in Dallas saw with what went into the official autopsy report.

The book gives the day of the assassination and the cover-up the same attention. The authors look at how the Warren Commission handled the evidence, what later investigators uncovered, and who they believe had the means and motive to kill Kennedy. They show how they reached their conclusions.

Mr. Book gave Who Killed JFK? an A+, which converts to 5 stars on Goodreads and NetGalley. In Mr. Book’s grading system, an A or A+ earns 5 stars, a B+ earns 4, a B earns 3, a C earns 2, and a D or F earns 1.

The book will be published on November 17, 2026.

Mr. Book finished the book on November 12, 2026.
