No Amee, I haven't read this book although I'd seen it advertised a while back. I was waiting for David Murray's book to be released and have now ordered it.
ETA: The cost of Pamela Velemont's book is AU$71.75 and is 135 pages! David Murray's book is 464 pages and much more moderately priced.
WOW! Thanks Makara. I didnt even notice the price of Pamelas book. Thats crazy!
David Murrays book was only $14.73 on Kindle.
I started it last night and cant put it down.
I was going to buy the Kindle edition but I wanted to have a hard copy of the book. I can't wait to read it! I like David Murray. He was great on Twitter along with Kate Kyriacou during this case and I think that he had a lot more inside information than Pamela Velemont.
I had a chuckle about Paul Tully's 'coded message'. I can't believe we all missed that one! LOL. Apparently Paul was good friends with Allison's grandfather.
<respectfully sipped>
I think he'd thought of killing her for some time and it came to fruition during an argument. So, it was premeditated but probably happened on that exact night as all the factors fell into place for him. Though I think they argued about TM and the conference the next day, I don't think this is the real reason why he killed Allison. To him it was "convenient" but incidental. I believe he thought of killing her on several occasions because of the money - he could have kept TM and his other mistresses stringing along for a while. I also think he had a dream of being unmarried and responsibility-free. He wasn't used to responsibility at all - thought he should be able to do what he wanted when he wanted and money should just come to him. Seems like he never really earned anything growing up - it all came easily.

AVERICK Ipswich councillor Paul Tully embedded a hidden message in a blog about Allison Baden-Clay, accusing her husband of killing her before he was charged.
Cr Tully used a code to share his thoughts on what happened to Allison, with the first letter of every sentence in the blog spelling out an accusation of murder.
Incredibly everyone missed the coded message, written only days after her body was discovered, which spelt out: THE HUSBAND DID IT.
The secret message is revealed in a new book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, by The Courier-Mails crime editor David Murray.
It can also be revealed that Cr Tully uncovered a secretive police operation in which detectives bugged the flowers on Allisons coffin in a bid to catch Gerard Baden-Clay in a confession.
Only hours after Allisons funeral service, Cr Tully sent an email to Ipswich councillors starting with the words latest goss!.
