KATE McCann wanted Madeleine’s younger siblings, twins Sean and Amelie, to be the only ones to read her heartbreaking book about her daughter’s abduction.

But a desperate cash shortage facing the fund set up to find Madeleine forced her to publish the intimate memoir to raise money, Kate’s mother Susan Healy has revealed.

The harrowing book, called simply Madeleine, also describes within its 384 pages the botched Portuguese police investigation and how Kate was vilified after being wrongly accused of killing her child.

“If Kate and Gerry were going to have to keep up the search on their own they needed money for the fund,” said Susan, of Allerton, Liverpool.
“But Kate probably would have written this book for her children anyway, though not for publication.

“It’s a very intimate book and I know what my daughter is like, she is a very private person.”

Madeleine has already become one of the fastest-selling non-fiction books since records began, with 72,500 copies sold in its first week.

No one forced her to include such initimate details - she did it herself.

The harrowing book, called simply Madeleine, also describes within its 384 pages the botched Portuguese police investigation and how Kate was vilified after being wrongly accused of killing her child.

It was not 'botched' you refused to cooperate by answering the 48 questions and refusing along with Gerry and the Tapas7 to do a reconstruction.
