Story
Chris Watts was a family man. Everybody, including his family, believed that. Yet, on August 13, 2018, he murdered Shanann, his pregnant wife, and two young daughters. As terrible as his story is, it is also a warning because to this day, living behind bars, Watts is still acting out the character traits that made him kill in the first place.

On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they would kill 12 students and a teacher and wound 24 others before taking their own lives. For the last 16 years, Sue Klebold, Dylan's mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising young man she had loved and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong?

When the pretty, blonde Utah mother went missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story - with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

She'd been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

Publisher's Summary
The decision to publish the book has been very difficult, and taken with heavy hearts... My reason for writing it is simple: to give an account of the truth...
Writing this memoir has entailed recording some very personal, intimate and emotional aspects of our lives. Sharing these with strangers does not come easily to me, but if I hadn't done so I would not have felt the book gave as full a picture as it is possible for me to give.
As with every action we have taken over the last four years, it ultimately boils down to whether what we are doing could help us to find Madeleine. When the answer to that question is yes, or even possibly, our family can cope with anything... nothing is more important to us than finding our little girl.
Gerry McCann says: "It is a sad fact that not a single police force anywhere is proactively looking forMadeleine (as is the case for many other missing children). I am sure this book will re-energize the search for our daughter and the public will get behind the Find Madeleine campaign once again. It is simply unacceptable that the authorities could give up on Madeleine - especially without a single review of the case having been carried out. Our daughter, and whoever took her, are out there. We need your help to find them."
All royalties donated to Madeleine's fund.

Unwavering Courage
I cannot even begin to fathom the courage and determination it must have taken Kate McCann to relive every excruciating detail of her beautiful daughter’s abduction while on holiday in Portugal. This book is testament of a mother’s love and the lengths she went to and still is, in finding her daughter and bring the monster to justice. As hard as it was to listen to Kate recount and relive every moment of horror and heartbreak in hopes of finding her little sweet girl. Sadly, it’s now 2019, no sign or even a whisper of promise 12 years after the nightmare began. Madeleine would be a teenager by now, virtually unrecognizable to her parents. God willing she will someday find her way back to her mother’s arms, safe at last, once again. Godspeed Madeline. Godspeed Kate❤️

Really well done and nothing but love to this family
I’m so glad Kate decided to write this book. I remember when their search for Madeleine hit the news, and I also remember how difficult it was to know whether or not what was being reported in the news was accurate. It was heart wrenching watching their pain play out in the media, and this book is so well done. All the mis-information and details are addressed, and the real people in this story come to life finally. It is sickening how many people involved, who could have and still could help make a difference, let ulterior, self-promoting motives dictate their behavior. I will recommend this book over and over in hopes that it will help this precious person to be found and returned to her family.

Gut wrenching account of the search for Madeleine
This is a real life nightmare that could happen to anyone. Sad but
beautifully written by Kate Mccann.
Its so hard to imagine this is their lives. Hopefully and prayerfully she is found and reunited
with her parents and siblings.
The love Kate for her daughter is so strong, so endearing.

Tragic story of a family
Would you listen to Madeleine again? Why?
Yes. Kate McCann's tale is compelling as it is tragic, and the narration is wonderful. Like another reviewer stated, it might have been better if Kate had read the book herself (she did read the foreward), but perhaps this was not possible for a number of reasons.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Madeleine?
There are many touching moments with the children, and of course the disappearance of Madeleine was very tragic and distressing to read about.
Any additional comments?
This book is a tragic, well-told chronicle of the events leading up to and after the disappearance of this little girl. In parts it was hard to follow everything that was going on, but this actually fitted well and helped me to empathize with the hell that this family has gone through and will continue to go through until such point as Madeleine is found.

heart wrenching
I was not ever very fascinated with the McCann story being all the way in the USA other then I have always felt awful for them.
so much time has passed that I myself have grown into a full fledged adult with children of my own one being a 3 year old almost 4 year old girl.
As a mom I struggled too wrap my mind around the horror this mom and dad wake up too every day. I can only say Kate and Gerry must be incredibly strong people.
I feel awful for them and pray that Madeleine is found alive and well soon.
It was informative and fact based. I would highly recommend reading it could probably even change the minds of people who wrongly accuse these parents I believe.

An insight into what happened
What made the experience of listening to Madeleine the most enjoyable?
Kate McCann telling the true story
What was one of the most memorable moments of Madeleine?
Her outgoing personality and the caring of her siblings.
Did Kate McCann (introduction) and Lesley Sharp do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, they did and it was possible to remember who was in their group of friends and to separate from the family members. How this was dealt with and repeated, you felt that you actually knew the people that were caring for Kate and Gerry McCann.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me feel very sad at times especially how the police did not seem to care or take action quickly enough following Madeleine's abduction.
Any additional comments?
This book is well worth reading as you actually find out the truth of actually what happened to very loving and caring parents, which didn't always come out in the media reporting.

10% Madeline, 90% excuses
I was going in this book with my mind already made up, but this book did little to convince me otherwise.
it's just an account of what happened, excuses and thank yous and nothing to even slightly admit they might have done things a bit wrong (leaving kids alone with plenty of other options within budget).
Aside from the famous passage mentioning your child's privates, this book slightly sympathies with the lucid abductor (no evidence?) and says more stern words about the police of another country.
It's just odd. Plain odd.
Aside from that, it's not too good of a book and we learn nothing about Madeline (it's like she did not exist before this tragedy), nothing. Just what she wore on the holiday, and a few (FEW) other bits. It should not be called 'Madeline'. It's a very self indulgent thing to publish such a book. Everyone else is to blame.

This is not about Madeleine
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If the book had been about the little girl rather than her mother.
Would you ever listen to anything by Kate McCann again?
No
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I'm sorry, no it didn't. I was extremely disappointed and rather shocked by the way it was more like Kate McCann's uninteresting autobiography.

Keep strong, keep going!
I decided to download this book because I always wondered how Kate mentally deals with such tragedy and uncertainty. I'm sure she carries the weight of guilt with her everyday. I can't imagine the pain she and her family must experience everyday. Especially as they're under constant scrutiny. I think she's done well to manage her emotions to keep focused on the search for her daughter. It must've been so hard writing this book, which hopefully helps towards the search. Keep strong Kate. Keep going!

No remorse for own actions
I read this as I found it incomprehensible that parents would leave their children alone as in this case and wanted to understand the thinking
This book reinforces all the worst characteristics of Madeline’s parents and is more about wanting to blame others and protect themselves. There is a complete lack of remorse or recognition within this book that what happened to poor Madeline is of their own making leaving children alone in a ground floor apartment next to a road with a door open beggars belief
God bless the poor girl

How can you rate a mother, doing what she can to find her gorgeous daughter and writing this book is part of the exhausting effort to do this.. I wanted to hear her story and my heart melts. Needs updating. xx

A heartbreaking memoir
This memoir must have been brutal for Kate McCann to write. It's very open and honest and it is hard not to feel feel her pain and frustration for herself, family and friends. It also highlights her love and determination to keep searching for Madeleine and her desire for the twins to grow up as happy and well adjusted children.
Really is worth a listen.

A sad, tragic story
A very sad sad affair for all involved. There has been many who have so cruelly and unfairly criticised the family at the heart of this painful story. Ignorance has no place here. This is a well written account of facts. I hope we find out what really did happen on that fateful night, 3 May 2007. Wherever you are out there Madeleine - I hope you feel no pain.

Gripping and honest
it's hard to imagine how the McCann family survived the abduction of their daughter, but to then have to deal with the rumour and innuendo whipped up by the incompetent Portuguese police it's next level distressing. this book has helped me understand what happened. Mr heart breaks for the McCann family.

Very moving account of a tragic event
I was moved to tears by this mothers story. I had heard things in the media of course but this story tells the heart of what happened and the author is very honest. It comes across that she has opened her heart and life up in this book in the hopes it will help the search for her daughter. I had a lot of mis information from the media and I felt this was an honest account of the parents perspective but it didn’t come across that the purpose of the book was to clear their name or justify things. The author tells what happened and the judgement they used at the time. I can’t find any fault with anything they have done , in hindsight it’s easy to say they shouldn’t have left the kids Etc. A very brave book. It is very very sad that some of the cultural differences and the way the investigation worked in Portugal may have prevented Madeline being found sooner. You can feel the anguish of the family as they tell the story. And the added frustration of the accusations they were involved or were negligent it’s very sad. The media can have such a positive role in finding missing children but it can be so damaging too and take the story away from what matters - the safety of the children. One thing that really struck me was that the author acknowledges awareness of how much media attention Madeline’s disappearance gained and that there were other children who did not have that kind of attention. It’s must be a very hard thing to be in the middle of your own family nightmare and still recognise others suffering too and that the other missing children are precious And need to be found too. I admire the way the author has used their position of being known in the media to shine the light on all missing children. I was very moved and felt I knew a piece of the authors heart after reading. I pray Madeline is found and for all the missing children and their families I hope this book will help the search for all lost children. I really am glad the author shared this story
