I am torn between the suspense option of I Am Watching You and Whisper of The Moon Moth which is a fictionalised account of Merle Oberon's life. I notice this second one is only available on KF in the UK - as happens most month's now, a couple of the options are different between the US and the UK.

Back in 1987, Michael Korda wrote Queenie, also a fictionalized account of Merle Oberon's life. She was married to his uncle, Alexander Korda so it might be more accurate than this Kindle First version.

I really enjoyed the book back then, although I don't know if I would today. If the ebook was available, and reasonably priced, I might pick it up.

It does stress that this is a fictionlised account of her life - a novel rather than a biography - but I decided to go with it after discovering that my other choice is written in the present tense - an automatic no-no for me.

Yes, Queenie is also a fictionalized account. I think I would like to read a biography.
