Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Wonderfulspam]

I'm looking forward to reading their analysis of the conspiracy theories surrounding the case, as well as their comments about the online campaign against the parents.

What a bunch of evil b*stards we all are for failing to surrender to the McCanns toxic media campaign & having the audacity to form our own opinions & then expressing them via social media.

How very dare we.

Let's also see if they mention the mccanns and the others social habits on those evenings in leaving the children unattended, and in the case of the mccanns, in unlocked accommodation (that is their claim), and with no independently verified checks on the children.

I know. Living in a free society where we can express opinions, and where the nature of the crime has not been determined.

Very naughty indeed.

I hope the authors are braced for a barrage of 1 star reviews on websites like Amazon, by people who have not even read their book.  I expect they will get lots of comments like the following, which appeared on the review page for their book about 9/11:

Verified Purchase(What is this?)

This review is from: The Eleventh Day (Hardcover)

If you want to know what really happened, don't buy any books which discuss the "hijackers", their life, and their deaths.
Look instead for information to lead you to the real truth of who carried out this crime, and the reasons why it was done.
The truth is out there - you just might not believe it.
But however unsavoury, we should feel obliged to seek the truth, if only to avoid being fooled again.

I agree, an excellent read and I so wanted Summer's and Mangold's contention's to be true but as we now know unfortunately they weren't.

Hmmm ...interesting person Anna Anderson though.

[Brietta]

Since the type of crime has not been ascertained, then ALL THEORIES are speculation

Which is why we all want to read the book.

I'm surprised that the McCanns being as litigious as they are, anyone expected anything else from the book but exoneration for them.

Fascinating. How she managed to keep the pretence up for over three decades that she was Anastasia beggars belief and to fool so many educated, intelligent people, including relatives, is incredible especially when you consider her true background.

I notice one of the reviewers mentions Michael Moore.

Now he might write an interesting book on the case.

And it wouldn't be constrained by the draconian British libel laws.

I think they will probably mention the acknowledged disastrous mistake made on the 3rd … I imagine there will also be mention made of the initial investigation where it was successful and where it failed. 

I would like to see an analysis of the details which led to Dr Amaral deciding the parents dunnit two days into the investigation without either speaking to them of visiting the crime scene. 

There is so much we would all like the authors to touch on that we will all probably be disappointed in some measure.

However, I for one welcome an independent study into the circumstances of this case … I am sure it will be interesting.

Precisely.

That is what is needed in this case, a truly outside and independent view.

I am aware that Mr Summers has researched the role played by individuals on the periphery of the case such as Metodo3 and Correia. It will be interesting to see how he includes them in the narrative, if indeed he does.

Absolutely nothing draconian about a law which protects individuals being smeared by having lies printed about them.  Surprised you should think otherwise.

I am of the opinion that proper research will reveal there is material for more than one book covering different aspects of Madeleine's case.
