I am familiar with the characters in "Fateful Night" since some of them were television/movie stars. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe were very popular and of course, the Kennedy family was known by everyone. I knew the names and faces but not anything about them; how they lived, interacted - basically what made them tick.I know the story was historical fiction but everything fit so well together. You could imagine this version of history actually taking place. The characters came to life and you could feel the love between Bobby and Ethel, the tension between J. Edgar Hoover and the people who had to deal with him and all the other interactions.The research for this book must have been extensive and I commend the authors for broaching a subject that required a delicate touch to make it realistic.
