This is one of those books where you need to know your history. Particularly, your 1950's and 1960's political history. This happens to be right up my alley, due to the fact that I am a huge JFK buff and have more than a slight interest in the death of Marilyn Monroe. Don't be mislead however, "Fateful Night" is a work of fiction, book one of a trilogy entitled "What She Knew". It does have truths and facts mixed in with it though, which makes it realistic and plausible. Even the dialog is written to match the way they spoke during that era. At times, the story takes turns and involves players you might have never considered before as being involved in some rather unsavory activity. You may even find yourself saying, "Holy sh*t!" I know I did.This is a story of what-ifs. What if Marilyn had survived? What did she know? Did she have information that could have stopped JFK's assassination? Who were the players and how deep were they embedded? The answers may shock you! You find yourself immersed into the minds of each character, thinking their thoughts, feeling their frustrations and fears and basking in their joys. It touches on some of this country's greatest tragedies and darkest secrets. Without knowing the real history of this era, the reader may find themselves a bit lost and unable to comprehend the significance of certain events and statements in the book. If your history's up to snuff, you'll fall into this tail headfirst and begin wondering your own "what-ifs".Be ready to see some of history's most beloved persons in a whole new light. What you read MAY disturb you - but I've no doubt, it WILL entertain you!
