It has taken me a while to read this book, as, by the nature of it, I find the subject upsetting, as I’m sure any parent would.
I have always had concerns about this case. Something just didn’t chime between what has been claimed and the evidence gathered. I have also been concerned about the McCann’s and their lack of co-operation with the authorities in Portugal.
Pat Brown has been able to bring a scientific, and I have to say clinical, view to what is a very muddled subject. There is no hand wringing or recrimination in this book. There are, however, some very disturbing questions being asked and they are pointed very clearly at the McCanns and the Tapas group.
The question that is ultimately asked, and one that has been in my mind since the off, is why are the McCanns refusing to answer them? If my child had been kidnapped I would do anything, absolutely anything to get her back. Yet the McCanns continue to refuse to co-operate. Why?
The book is well written, although the fact that the author has centred all the text is annoying. There are very few typographical errors. The content is well described but there are no gruesome explanations, so it is in no way prurient.
The fact that the McCanns have had this book banned on Amazon, and the detective’s book forced off the bookshelves says more about the McCanns than anything. There is nothing in this book that they should be afraid of, unless there is a reason why they are afraid of it.
Although this book has been withdrawn by Amazon at the insistence of the McCanns legal representatives, this book is still available from Smashwords.

I've been following this case from the beginning, and this book contains some insights of things I hadn't considered or didn't notice. She's a sharp cookie.

Highly recommend. Good read! I don't know why any one would want such a mess in their lives. I do hope they find Madeleine! Very thought provoking after the facts are outlined in the book. Who's telling the truth?

This is an excellent, thought-provoking book. It presents the facts of the case very well, yet leaves more than a niggling doubt in the back of your mind that all is not what initial reports presented the case to be: that of a child adduction. Although the abduction scenario is still presented as a possibility, it does appear, on the face of all of the evidence, that this seems increasingly unlikely.

An excellent and thought-provoking analysis of the case which highlights all the contradictions in statements by the parents and witnesses.
This should be a must-read for journalists and politicians close to the case.

VERY well written, covers the bases, and asks a lot of questions that the McCanns seem either to have never answered, or tried hard NOT to answer. Ms. Brown then answers many of the questions, based on her profiling experience. Well done!
