The Sudden Impulse

Descrição exaustiva e detalhada do caso Madeleine. Apesar da versão portuguesa ter vários erros de tradução e algumas frases atabalhoadas, é uma leitura imperdível para compreender tudo o que se passou durante e vários anos depois do desaparecimento de Madeleine. Considero que Bernt Stellander fez um trabalho impressionante. Espero vir a ver este caso resolvido em tribunal durante o meu tempo de vida.

This is a fascinating read. Stellander has done an amazing job dissecting the enormous amount of evidence and material in the public domain to not only make a very sound case for the death of Madeleine McCann and the hiding and burial of her body by her parents, but he has - in all likelihood - also found her burial site. Using police records, interviews with the McCanns, books and newspaper articles, he provides an objective, insightful and razor-sharp analysis and conclusions, busting all myths around this case. The text could do with English-language editing (some parts are so wobbly, they are annoying even to a non-native English speaker) and the repetitions are simply too numerous (even for the uninitiated) but all this can be fixed easily with good editing. But I consider these minor irritations which do not detract from the sterling job the author has done in analysing and presenting the results. The McCanns are basically busted, and Stellander deserves a lot of credit.
