Summers & Swan - A new book - Looking For Madeleine

[Lyall]

Is that really the job of an investigative journalist though?

I got the impression (maybe wrongly?) it's Swan who is the most committed of the two. She may well have been following the case right from the beginning.

But generally journalists are ideal people to write books about cases aren't they? It's just that in cases like these, people - including the professionals - inevitably get emotionally involved and perhaps only see what they want to see?

Doesn't that depend on whether or not they say what you want to hear?
People look far enough to see what they want to see and listen long enough to hear what they want to hear.
Prejudice rules OK? 
I am surprised that 10 months down the track a lightweight book remains the topic of discussion.
Put it to the test; go down your local spit and saw dust or trendy wine bar and say "Here what do you think of Summers' and Swan's book on Madeleine".

Very true dear Alice...

To my horror someone replied "thank you for reminding me I need toilet paper!"

But it is great that the book helped Madeline and her parents. um...ok what?did they find her?

The book is an accurate portrayal of the case...which parts of the book does anyone disagree with

De book is an abject failure in that it fails totally to uphold the first principle of investigative writing and that is to keep all options open in an unsolved case.

it's not up to the book to decide...SY have said the MCanns are not suspects...The book is a true reflection of the ongoing case

SY have said the MCanns are not suspects.......which doesn't prove they didn't do it.

You got that right.

Investigation going nowhere, just like the book.

so no actual quotes where the book is inaccurate just the usual mud slinging from the usual posters

The book is inaccurate.....it ignores the evidence.

No mention of that locked child gate.

Did Mrs Gaspars statement get a mention in the book?

no one has been able to produce the original gaspar statement...only the twice translated one...when we see the original we could make a judgement

The point is davel that the book is not impartial and to put it bluntly seeks to crawl up the McCanns asses.

Is it a best seller ?

I can remember someone in the first release taking a photo in a book shop, trying to give the impression it was doing well in the sales.

NOPE.
