Maddie: The truth of the Lie: Book review

A book review on Dr.Amarals book from two years ago.
Written by Blogger.. Funride . Portugal.
Also includes updates on the lifting of the ban. (Scroll to bottom of article)


I have some difficulties remembering the last time I read a book from top to bottom without interruptions. This book was written by one of the former Portuguese judicial police inspectors (Gonçalo Amaral) responsible for the investigation of Madeleine McCann´s missing that happened more than two years ago (03 May 2007) while in vacation with her parents in Algarve, Portugal.

Frankly I must admit I felt something was wrong with the investigations when no one suspected of any other scenario but the kidnapping after knowing that a group of parents  use to dine in a restaurant leaving all their children alone sleeping in their apartments.

If one tried to put himself in all those parents` position it is easy to realize that if some accident had occurred during the time they were at the restaurant they all would immediately feel guilty of what happened and I believe it is possible to conceive they could all try to minimize the damage doing everything to make it look like a kidnapping. Of course this is all hypotheses and does not prove anything by it self.
Watch the impressive documentry about this case near the end of this page just above the comment box.
