Summary
"A mind-blowing magnum opus based on decades of research.” (Shaun Attwood, true crime author/YouTuber)
Just before Christmas in 1996, a beautiful French woman - the wife of a movie mogul - was brutally murdered outside of her holiday home in a remote region of West Cork, Ireland. The crime was reported by a local journalist, Ian Bailey, who was at the forefront of the case until he became the prime murder suspect. Arrested twice, he was released without charge.
This was the start of a saga lasting decades, with twists and turns and a battle for justice in two countries, which culminated in the 2019 conviction of Bailey - in his absence - by the French Criminal Court in Paris. But it was up to the Irish courts to decide whether he would be extradited to serve a 25-year prison sentence.
With the unrivalled cooperation of major investigation sources and the backing of the victim’s family, the author unravels the shocking facts of a unique murder case.

Wow, better than the West Cork pod cast series
This is just fact after fact after fact in a timeline. I keep playing things back thirty seconds because I feel ''wait that proves he did it surely'' so I play it back and I think well if that is on record how is this guy still walking the streets. There have been several of these moments.

Shameful witchhunt
The author is passing things off as fact, for example stating that Ian Bailey reported that the police had given him information but the author states that the police hadn't therefore Ian Bailey must be the murderer to know certain details about the crime... how on earth can the author know what the police did or didn't tell him? He seems to assume the reader will take everything written at face value as he provides no explanation or proof of research whatsoever.
The only truth is as yet no one knows who committed this awful crime and it may well have been Ian Bailey but this book certainly won't help to clarify matters.
