So why did they omit these details ?

Was it because if reflected badly on the mccanns and/or it was incompetence on the authors part ?

Well they certainly added some complimentary comments regarding the PJ and how much information can one get into one book.  What of importance was omitted?

Well, I have been passed the book by a friend.

I'll answer that one once I have the time and patience to read it.

Let's see if it's more interesting or less, than Mr. Hall's efforts in his videos on the case .

P.S. I have watched numbers 1,4 and half of number 2.

It doesn’t look to me as if the Authors were trying to deny or avoid, the reason for the re-enactment cancellation.

Excerpt from the book:-

Chapter 14
He bewailed the fact that no re-enactment had taken place, due to the refusal of some of necessary members of holiday group to return to our country. That he suggested, might have resolved crucial outstanding issues.
Oh dear.  Bang goes Faithlilly's latest attempt to smear Summers and "wife" - egg on face time once again.  8((()*/

You fail to take note that the author had already claimed that it was an arbitrary decision by the prosecutor, and the prosecutor alone, that stopped the reconstruction taking place. Anything that comes afterwards, and note the derogatory use of the word 'bewailed', merely suggests that the Portuguese were trying to shift blame for their poor decision.
A phrase comes to mind reading the above Faithlilly  - grasping at straws.  You really have shown yourself up this time.  The authors categorically state that the renactment failed to take place owing to the refusal of some of the group to return to Portugal.  In fact I would go so far as to say that it is YOU being ........ by failing to mention this excerpt from the book a mere couple of paragraphs on from the excerpt you reproduced earlier.  Shame on you!

Well in the introduction it says 'The Detective Chief Inspector heading the probe said the little girl may be alive'.

He also said she might be dead, and could have died in the apartment.

Good start by omitting some of the facts, and thereby telling the reader part of what Redwood actually said.

Actually the start reveals quite acutely what path this book will tread.................

BS, the authors lead the uneducated reader to think that while the T9 were deciding if they were going to attend the PJ decided not to run the reconstruction. With a footnote to the chapter of the disappointment of the PJ that the T9 wouldn't all attend.

Page 10.

Now just to remind people, the crime has yet to be ascertained.

It has yet to be established who is responsible for Madeleine's disappearance, so on that note, whether some like it or not, others are still in the frame.


'This book has been researched and written independently of Gerry and Kate Mccann'.

Of course they do.

Strange that Alfred seems so hellbent on convincing us all that the authors are beyond reproach.

As I have said before members should read the book and make up their own mind the truth of the matter.
