'I hadn't been able to get through to Meredith on her mobile, which was very unusual, but I tried to keep calm by telling myself the victim couldn't possibly be Meredith. The call eventually came from the foreign desk of the Mirror newspaper, from a young girl I hadn't spoken to before. That call ended my world as I knew it. Nervously, she told me that they had a name for the girl. I ask for it, but she is reluctant to tell me. She seems somewhat nervous herself, and I have to persuade her to release the name. I shall never forget her words. "The name going round Italy is Meredith." I dropped the phone. I didn't believe it. Not my beautiful Meredith.'Meredith Kercher was tragically murdered in November 2007, in Perugia, Italy. Since then, her murder and the subsequent trial have been a source of constant intrigue and speculation for media all around the world, with the spotlight famously focusing on the accused, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito.
I read Meredith in a single sitting. It is a dignified, searing tribute to the victim of a parent's worse nightmare. -- John Follain, Sunday Times
