Mail Online: A true crime author is suing a paper over a damning review of her book about a woman who killed her husband - after it emerged the man who wrote it was engaged to the killer.
Ann Rule launched legal proceedings against the Seattle Weekly after it ran an article accusing her of 'sloppy storytelling' in her book Heart Full of Lies, which is based on the story of Liysa Northon, who was jailed for the manslaughter of her husband.

Although it's clearly a conflict of interest and the newspaper should never have printed the review, I'm confused: when was the review written? The book was published over ten years ago; was the review written when the book first came out or have newspapers gotten into the habit of publishing reviews if decade-old books?
Lawsuit filed last week; article about the book published a couple of years ago.
