Publisher's Summary
Looking for Madeleine is the not-to-be-missed account that the online haters tried to silence. Its award-winning authors, Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan, feature in the Netflix series The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
The audiobook:
- Identifies the blunders made during the police search for Madeleine
- Draws on confidential police sources
- Analyses the thousands of pages of the Portuguese police dossier
- Pinpoints the misreading of forensic evidence that - for a time - turned Kate and Gerry McCann into formal suspects
- Follows the clues indicating that the McCanns' apartment was watched, that the apartment had been visited by a phony 'charity collector'
- Reports, in frightening detail, on the many earlier sex assaults on British children in the area
Twelve years on, as Scotland Yard and Portuguese investigators continue their work, the Yard is reportedly focusing on a specific suspect. A senior officer told the authors: 'The case is solvable'.

Amazing!!!
This book is amazing. It kept my full attention from the beginning all the way through the end. I would definitely recommend this book. The facts speak for themselves. Thank you to the authors for presenting me with the knowledge about the abduction.

Spoiler
This was pretty much ruined right off the bat by the author's fervent assurances that there's no reason to infer that any of the main characters had anything to do with the events described. So, what's the point of investing the time to listen?

Interesting Read
I found this to be well researched and interesting. They lay out new evidence and many plausible explanations.

Not very interesting
I was very upset with the lack of information. I had followed the story about Madeline, and had hoped the book would give more info. I had a lot of trouble getting through it. I wouldn't recommend it to others. Very boring. Cheree'

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.

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

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.

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.

Fair and Considered
It is so upsetting to hear unfair, ignorant and ill informed viewpoints of people on this case. I despair for Madeleine’s family - particularly Kate and Gerry and congratulate them on how well they have done all things considered since that fateful night - 3 May 2007. This book is well worth a read/listen and explores fact correlates that are not necessarily easily accessible in other texts on the matter.
