Author and DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan’s surprising new biography of the Kennedy family is temporarily sold out on Amazon, just days after its release.
‘Don’t Ask: The Kennedys and the Women Who Destroyed Them’ was in stores on Tuesday, July 2, and within hours was number 1 on several sales charts.
Due to huge demand, Amazon said on Thursday it had sold out of its entire stock of the book, which was published as a series by the Mail last month.
Stock is currently being replenished and the book can still be purchased on the site, although delivery may take a little longer than normal.
Alternatively, ‘Ask Not’ is available in all national bookstores and is available for purchase directly from the publisher.
Just days before the book was even published and thanks to a large number of pre-orders, Callahan’s book became the fifth best-seller of all new releases on Amazon last week.
It is currently the #1 bestseller in the site’s Women in History section.
Callahan has already received a flood of rave reviews, including from podcaster Megyn Kelly, who described the biography as “the ‘The must-read book of the summer.’
“There are so many interesting new facts about this bizarre family. Trust me, you’ll want to read it and buy it for everyone you know,” Kelly said.
A similarly glowing review in The Guardian praised Ask Not as an “illuminatingly revealing account,” while Town & Country magazine described it as “a scandalous, unsparing account.”
Last month, the Mail published four exclusive excerpts from the book.
Among the shocking revelations were: previously unknown details about JFK’s 1963 assassination; his wife Jackie’s second marriage to Aristotle Onassis and the 170-clause prenup they agreed to; exposed allegations that could implicate the “lady-killer” Kennedys in the death of Marilyn Monroe; and a stunning new theory about the 1999 plane crash that killed JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
