Summary: A must read true crime book. Riveting!
Comment: This book is based upon the files of the National Enquirer. At the time of the writing, no charges had been filed in the Chandra Levy case and the investigation was ongoing. The book follows the events from the time Levy disappeared, on 1 May 2001, to the weeks following discovery of her body on 22 May 2002.
Levy was an ambitious nonconformist with a fetish for older, married men. She had received several internships before journeying to Washington, D.C. for an internship with the U.S. Bureau of prisons. Within two months she had begun an affair with Congressman Gary Condit. She became obsessed with the man.
Congressman Gary Condit was a man with a hidden nature. On the surface, he appeared to be a gentleman of high moral standing, a devoted husband and father. But beneath, he had a wild side with fetishes for S&M, gay sex, group sex, and experimental adventures with sex toys. He was a man of multiple affairs; cheating on his wife since the day they wed.
When Levy and Condit collided, it was the beginning of the end for both.
I defended Condit so faithfully. When I was living in Modesto, I met him and thought he was a decent, kind man with an open heart for the veterans in his district. He has done so much to help veterans all across America. I still cannot believe he managed to keep his dark side so well hidden! This book blew my mind ... as well as his image!
This was an interesting book. It exposes the dark side of both parties. It tells the story from a neutral point, without attempting to sway the reader to either side. Instead, it throws the dirt out there for everybody to read. If you have any interest in this case, this book is a must read!

Summary: Inquiry Satisfied by Enquirer
Comment: If you want new and unusual facts about the Chandra Levy case, be sure to read this book!!! This is a well written page turner sure to satisfy your curiosity.
"Sex, Power and Murder" brings you into the seamy world of Gary Condit and the power and privleges he wrecklessly wielded. The naive mindset of Chandra Levy is also skillfully observed with attention to the whole "Congressional Intern as Prey" scene in Washington.

Summary: Whatever happened to ... ?
Comment: Before 9/11/2001, there was a national media feeding frenzy on these folks, and then, like Chandra herself, it vanished. Through it all, the folks at the National Enquirer were on the case. (Ok, I admit it: I cheat my diet with a Krispy Kreme donut now and then, & sometimes I read the ever erudite Enquirer - what else to do when stranded in the slow-moving check-out line?)
This book was written by Enquirer staffers and poorly published by affiliate American Media, Inc. The copy I got has the print hugging the outside margin of the page, often losing the battle and falling off the literary tightrope. The amalgamated articles are awash in celebrity shrink speculation, which may end up being similar to the now egg-on-faced "profilers" who were all over the media speculating about the pre-arrest D.C. snipers.
Think of this book as "junk food for the mind:" a guilty pleasure and possibly equally nutritious. What *did* Preacher's Kid Gary Condit, Southern Oklahoma Babtist, Evil Eddie Haskell/ Mr. Hyde, whom the voters of his California US House District had the latter-day good sense to turn out in the primary, have to do with Chandra's murder? The speculation here is intriguing: inquiring minds want to know! Reviewed by TundraVision.
