Description:
While many believe that Marilyn Monroe was murdered on that
fateful night in August 1962, the real question still remains. What was the
actual reason for her demise? Marilyn was a well-loved personality who ran in
all the right (or wrong) circles. What could she possibly know that was such a
threat to someone that only her death would bring them security? Was it
Hollywood and the finishing of the film she'd been fired from and then rehired
on? Maybe it was her involvement in Las Vegas with the Rat Pack and mobsters or
possibly her association with the Kennedys, especially Patricia and John F.
that would lead to the ultimate sacrifice. In 1962, sinister forces were at
work plotting to kill America's sex goddess to keep her from divulging deadly
information. While mobster Sam Giancana played nice with Frank Sinatra, leader
of the Rat Pack and America's favorite crooner. Frank was being equally nice to
Peter Lawford, JFK's brother-in-law, in order to enter the political circles
that Marilyn already had access too. As this circle was being completed one
vital bit of information was passed on that would end the life of Marilyn
Monroe or did it? In this 1960's conspiracy story, Marilyn Monroe is saved by
Peter Lawford. Bobby Kennedy replaces the real Marilyn with a body double
allowing the whole world to think she is dead. Badly beaten and bruised,
Marilyn struggles to come to grips with her near death experience and the
realization that everything she worked for is gone forever. The actress and sex
goddess is dead.
My
Thoughts:
‘What She Knew’ was a great
‘what if’ story. It was a fiction novel telling a story of what if Marilyn
Monroe had lived on that fateful night. What if Peter Lawford and Bobby Kennedy
got to her just in time and switched out the bodies with someone off the streets.
So that everyone thinks she dead including the ones who tried to kill her, but
she’s not and put her into hiding. The book is fast paced after that as they
try to unveil the mystery behind who tried to kill Marilyn and who is trying to
kill the president.
I
really enjoyed this book I'm a huge Marilyn fan and I am usually really harsh
on things like this but I was really impressed with this novel. The ladies did
their research for sure and are clearly Marilyn admirers as well. The book was
well-written, very entertaining and I think it will really have people
scratching their heads, wondering what really did happen to our dear Marilyn on
that fateful night.
I
know I for one do not believe it was a suicide. So this fiction novel was a fun
idea to play with. Could you imagine Marilyn still hiding out somewhere, outrageous
right? J I loved this
book, the plot, and the whole idea behind it. True Marilyn fans will love it
and I can't wait to read the sequel.
*I bought this book on my on and decided to review it. All opinions are my own. I did not recieve compensation for this review.
