Why did Kate McCann feel the need to write a book at all?

[Vertigo Swirl]

The inference is that poor suffering Kate McCann wrote her book purely to raise funds to continue the search for her missing daughter. Despite her natural reserve and desire for privacy she shared details about her life for Madeleine's sake, not for any other reason.

The Fund needed the money and Kate donated every penny the book earned, we are told. We don't know how much she earned, of course, or how much of it was donated. Those details haven't been shared. We also don't know why she felt the need to place a restriction on the use of the money. Although she's a director of the Fund she seems to have felt the need to restrict the use to which the book earnings were/are put. Does she not trust her fellow directors to spend the money wisely?

On the other hand, of course, nasty vindictive Amaral wrote a book and kept the money for himself, just as many others did. The difference was that he wrote about the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance rather than writing a book defending her parents.

No, he wrote a book specifically accusing her parents, slight difference.

No, he wrote a book specifically accusing her parents, slight difference.

No, he wrote a book describing the investigation to the point he was moved. Big difference.

[G-Unit]

No, he wrote a book specifically accusing her parents, slight difference.

Hardly surprising as he wrote about the investigation which specifically accused her parents.

[Mr Gray]

No, he wrote a book describing the investigation to the point he was moved. Big difference.

The investigation never reached the conclusion it was possible to prove maddie died in the apartment

[Vertigo Swirl]

No, he wrote a book describing the investigation to the point he was moved. Big difference.

My observation was in relation to G-unit’s description of his book being about Madeleine’s disappearance and “not defending her parents”.  I was pointing out that it was more than that, it was a direct accusation.

I've always thought Amaral should donate his profits to the fighting fund.

The slight difference imo he didn't need to get self preservation across.

He was the lead detective - as you know.

He was involved with the case.

He knew all that was going on.

He was accusing her parents because that is the conclusion he made.

He believes the parents was involved...that is why he wrote the book

[G-Unit]

I've always thought Amaral should donate his profits to the fighting fund.

As he didn't think the search was going to find anyone, why would he do that? It makes more sense to suggest that Summers and Swan and Danny Collins should have donated their profits to the Fund.

He believed eddie found a dead body under a slab of concrete in Jersey... He believed  Eddie had help solve 200 cases... Amaral got quite a lot wrong

IMO his book was an exercise in self-defence. 

[kizzy]

IMO his book was an exercise in self-defence.

NO NO NO NO -   he didn't need to defend his self

He had to walk away from the investigation,

But he wasn't going to walk away from what he believes  -  the mccanns did.

So he did the only thing he could do ...write abook

[Erngath]

IMO his book was an exercise in self-defence.

And an opportunity to make money.

[jassi]

And an opportunity to make money.

Is there anything wrong with that?

people who write   books do it with the hope of making money

[kizzy]

And an opportunity to make money.

To try and get to the truth about what happened to maddie.

[Mr Gray]
