You can't have it both ways when writing about a true murder. When you request information and pics you expect to receive gruesome and highly distasteful material in order to get a clearer picture of what happened and how it happened.
Why CAL turned round and called it twisted beggars belief. What else did she expect ?
This book was obviously her first true crime story so she should have been prepared for the unexpected and she obviously wasn't ! If she'd asked JB for information describing certain scenes of the crime then he's going to oblige isn't he ? Afterall she was writing a book and because this was a true crime it had to be as authentic as was possible so descriptions would/could have been graphic-----and for that JB is called twisted ??
What's wrong with the woman ? This happened before with another author didn't it ? Making up things.
