Stop trying to grift off of your dead wife’s book/work- you seem to have moved on in every way except monetarily and it feels incredibly gross.
She didn’t ‘solve’ GSK, didn’t have an inkling of who it might be- she was simply addicted to the story, and then addicted to the drugs that kept her writing the story, which you happily stole for her, yet somehow escape any culpability.
Don’t go away mad, just go away, little guy.
Read her book to know about the crimes.
Listen to this to learn as much about Michelle and her process as we can now hope to learn. RIP
Great story, great interviews. The music on some of the interviews (and WHAT was with the guitar music over Letter to an Old Man?!) was beyond grating and completely ruined it for me. That letter was truly some of the best writing I’ve ever heard - hearing it read out out in the HBO documentary gave me chills. Boy did these people ruin it.
This is almost a condensed version of the HBO series.
Also, some of the background music is WAY too upbeat and chipper considering the context.
She grips you with intelligence. The next Truman Capote of our time. A must read for writers, detectives and anyone who believes in justice.
