Mind Blowingly Informative.

Wow! A thoroughly excellent listen.

Extremely well read.

The information shared within the words ought to be made more widely broadcast to every parent and guardian worldwide. Yes, they may frighten many. However, on the other hand, they will educate and put readers on their guard to ensure the safety of those youngsters in their charge.

I would love to meet with Kate & Gerry as well as one of the Metropolitan Police investigators to wish them well in their efforts to find Madeline and to bring any wrong doer to justice.

10/10 to the authors.

nothing new, but a good reminder of the events

Slight bias towards the abduction theory of the McCann's and lacks any new insight or evifence but well narrated and thorough in its coverage

A masterpiece of truth and compassion in Looking for Madeleine:

Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan’s Looking for Madeleine is an extraordinary deep dive into one of the most perplexing and tragic mysteries of our time: the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. This meticulously researched book presents a balanced, thought-provoking exploration of the case, free from sensationalism, yet packed with compelling insights and fresh perspectives. For anyone seeking an authoritative account of what happened to Madeleine and the enduring questions surrounding her disappearance, this book is indispensable.

The book not only examines the events leading up to Madeleine’s disappearance but also delves into the flawed investigations and the media frenzy that followed. It critiques systemic failures while remaining empathetic toward the McCann family. Summers and Swan’s ability to remain neutral while exploring both public and private theories is a testament to their journalistic integrity.

It is worth noting that some negative reviews of Looking for Madeleine often stem from individuals who haven’t actually read the book. Many such critiques appear to be rooted in preconceived opinions about the case or the McCann family, rather than an informed critique of the book’s content. Summers and Swan are careful to address the controversies and misinformation that have plagued this case, making it clear that the book seeks to shed light, not fuel baseless theories.

Unfortunately, some detractors dismiss Looking for Madeleine without engaging with its meticulously presented facts and thorough analysis. This reaction underscores the importance of the authors’ work in cutting through the noise and presenting an objective, well-rounded account for readers who genuinely seek to understand this case.

Totally Biased

Like the majority of people I am open minded about what happened to Madeleine and yes everything points towards an abduction, however this book totally plays down the other potential scenarios. There may not be any concrete evidence that any foul play happened with the parents and/or friends, however a neutral approach would be to at least accept there are some discrepancies. Apart from Madeleine not being there what concrete evidence is there to 100% confirm she was abducted??
I appreciate the awful treatment the McCann's have been through via social media but is it really necessary for a book to essentially do the same back to the haters in naming and shaming them?? This again only adds fuel to the feeling that this book is only interested in one side of the story rather than being balanced.
My advice would be to give this book a miss and try another source for a more balanced view.

Totally biased account of the disappearance

I am very disappointed with this book. It has been written to back Madeleine McCann’s parents it would appear and to support the abduction theory so therefore has not considered other possibilities. What was the point of a book like this unless it considers every theory? I would not recommend wasting a credit on this very poor review of the events. Also shaming Brenda Leyland in this book who committed suicide is a poor show and very disrespectful.
