and expand article to include reception and critcal response. Per , only one of that guideline's #Criteria|listed criteria need apply, and while the articles about the book naturally speak contextually about the book's topic, the book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.. and THAT'S the criteria it meets.  And that some of these are published by the independent news agencies that may have reported on the same event as does the book, still makes them independent of the event and the book... as news agencies are expected to report on news events. Found in a quick search were http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-5246887-504083.html CBS News 1 http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=7440267&page=1 ABC 20/20 http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=NDSB&p_theme=ndsb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=132646FE7A861228&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Daily Sentinel  http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/20081006/kent-whitaker-murder-family-book-sugarland.htm International Business Times  http://www.chron.com/life/houston-belief/article/Even-in-sorrow-to-forgive-is-divine-1727604.php Houston Chronicle 1  http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Sugar-Land-dad-will-discuss-family-slayings-on-1539755.php Houston Chronlicle 2  http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Sugar-Land-man-s-book-details-son-s-plot-to-kill-1604173.php Houston Chronicle 3  http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=125871 Frederick News Post  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/18/48hours/main3381002.shtml CBS News 2 and  http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/updates/21681591-55/story.csp Register Guard among others. So we have the book meeting . Also nice for consideration toward notability is that the book was on New York Time's best seller list.  So in determining the book under the applicable criteria, we do not judge the events surrounding the book's tragic topic, but instead consider that the book as having been the recipient of commentary, review, and analysis in multiple independent reliable sources, and understand that it would be expected that sources contextually speak toward the event (the book's topic) in their commentary, review, and analysis.  And, per , such continued coverage ''might'' also qualify the event itself as notable... whch might then justify a new article on the event to which this ''might'' later be merged. But this discussion here is about the '''one book''' brought to AFD... not the event... and not other books on the same topic by other folks
