Rob Reiner spent decades telling stories. Now his son is helping carry one of his final investigations to an audience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jake Reiner will narrate the introduction and prologue of Who Killed JFK? Solving America\u2019s Greatest Murder Mystery<\/em>, the forthcoming audiobook coauthored by his late father, David Hoffman and Dick Russell, Entertainment Weekly reported on November 10. ew.com<\/a><\/p>\n

A Son\u2019s Voice, a Father\u2019s Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Jake, the recording carries a deeply personal meaning.<\/p>\n

He told Entertainment Weekly that contributing to the audiobook offered a way to reconnect with his father following the deaths of Rob and Michele Singer Reiner in December 2025.<\/p>\n

He described that connection simply: \u201camplifying his words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoffman reads the author\u2019s note, while Mack Sanderson narrates the remainder of the audiobook. ew.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The Question Behind the Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project returns to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963\u2014an event that continues to generate books, investigations and fierce disagreement.<\/p>\n

According to Simon & Schuster\u2019s official description, the authors draw on declassified documents, interview transcripts and existing research to challenge accounts of the assassination and its aftermath. The publisher says the book examines alleged investigative failures and concealment.<\/p>\n

Those assertions represent the book\u2019s argument and its publisher\u2019s description; they should not be read as independently established findings. Simon & Schuster<\/a><\/p>\n

From Hollywood Storytelling to Historical Investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rob Reiner\u2019s career stretched across comedy, romance and courtroom drama. His directing credits included This Is Spinal Tap<\/em>, Stand by Me<\/em>, The Princess Bride<\/em>, When Harry Met Sally\u2026<\/em> and A Few Good Men<\/em>. He also won two Emmy Awards for his acting in All in the Family<\/em>.<\/p>\n

His public life extended beyond entertainment into political activism, including early childhood development and marriage equality advocacy.<\/p>\n

Who Killed JFK?<\/em> brings that political interest into a book-length investigation. It follows the podcast of the same name, hosted by Reiner and Soledad O\u2019Brien, with Hoffman and Russell also involved in its development and research. Simon & Schuster<\/a><\/p>\n

When Listeners Can Hear It<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simon & Schuster Audio lists the unabridged audiobook for release on November 17, 2026<\/strong>, with a running time of approximately nine hours<\/strong>. Apple Books also lists November 17 as the expected release date. Simon & Schuster<\/a><\/p>\n

The release brings together two distinct stories: an investigation into a presidential assassination and a son\u2019s contribution to his father\u2019s work. For readers, the central question is historical. For Jake, the opening pages also offer a personal connection.<\/p>\n
