Posted by Thanks to Shane for reading my book objectively.
Nick Foster’s “exclusive revelation” is nothing more than hearsay combined with conjecture.
He claims an anonymous “source” told him Ian “knelt over the body” – of course he did, when he arrived at the crime scene. It’s been well documented – there are even pictures of Ian snooping around. peering into the cottage windows.
Foster also cited flimsy “evidence” to support his belief that Bailey murdered Mme du Plantier. The fact that Ian and Sophie both mentioned the Hindu goddess Kali is hardly proof that he had an intense discussion on Eastern spiritually with her; like many hippies, Ian was interested in mysticism and death goddesses long before Sophie moved to West Cork. There can’t be a hippy or poet who hasn’t heard of Kali or her Irish counterpart, the crow goddess Morrigan (incidentally Ian wrote a trilogy of poems about crows when he first arrived in Ireland, while he worked as a human scarecrow in Kilmacthomas, Co Waterford).
Actually if Ian had known Sophie personally he would have written about it when he was pitching sensationalist stories to the press, before he realised he was the Chief Suspect. There’s no way he would have kept quiet about any friendship with the glamorous murder victim!
