We're in for a treat!... not just one, but two books that will answer the question "once and for all".
Looks like you'll have reassess your position, Holls!
It'll not be much dearer buying a book than forking out for numerous daily or weekly newspapers... although they'd reach a larger audience.
Something fishy about this move to Wakefield. &%+((£ Do you think JB knows the conclusion of these books and is about to confess?
I have no idea what CAL's position is. Initially her book was due for release Apr 2014 and titled 'Blood Guilt':
https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Blood_Guilt.html?id=DUQVnwEACAAJ I thought 'Blood Guilt' may have been a ref to the open pages of the bible; the relationship between June and SC with June supposedly referring to SC as the Devil's child and SC perhaps believing this based on her unknown parentage/adoption; June struggling to come to terms with her illegitimate adopted children based on her religiosity/sexual morality, hence 'Blood Guilt'. A bit heavy but there doesn't seem to be anything light about WHF.
In the write up re the forthcoming book CAL refers to the years of rising tensions within the family that culminated in the murders. I took this to mean SC's life: school expulsions, unplanned pregnancies, abortions, miscarriages, sacked from her job, unable to gain permanent employment, divorce, financial problems, difficulty parenting her children, recreational drugs, lifelong difficult relationship with June and meeting her birth mother ie the emphasis on SC being responsible.
However I see in a slightly different write up she refers to setting the crime against the historical context showing JB as a brash outsider; a product of Thatcher's 80's who thought he could and should have it all:

Have to wait and see. Exciting times!
I can see how up-to-date books on the case could make for an interesting read but I struggle with any smoking gun emerging either way. Sadly I think the whole sorry saga will drag on.
There are a number of ?'s re JB's move to Monster Mansion:
1. JB parting company with SM around the end 2013.
2. No announcement of a replacement to SM.
3. PH supposedly changing stance around end of 2013/beginning of 2014. I say supposedly as we don't know what his earlier views were and how strong they were either way. Or his motivation(s) for writing a book about WHF and how much influence others have had, if any, in making it as sellable as possible. I recall he posted on Blue some info had come to light that he needed to let the authorities know about. This was around the time his book was delayed and he changed stance.
4. A number of posters on Blue changing stance, or claiming they have changed stance, around the time of 3 above. Namely the CApris and Susan M-Ing-ing-ham.
5. DS Jones passing away beginning 2014.
6. CAL and PH delaying publication of their books from Apr 2014 to Jul 2015.
7. PH's claims of death threats in connection with JB's case.
8. The CT, JB and others insisting an application is winging its way to CCRC but no sign of.
9. The imminent release of two case related books which coincide with the 30th anniversary of the tragedy.
10. JB moved to Monster Mansion.
