that seems to be what the older sheriff is getting at during their (he and Ellison) first discussion. he commented on how ellison dumped on the cops in some of the books.
shareOh, I know in the film it's a true crime book, I meant that I wondered if the writers had an actual crime as a basis for the fictional book.
shareThis is just my opinion... With Ellison being a true crime writer and apparently one as prominent as say Ann Rule (who does interviews and is considerably well known) that title Kentucky Blood and then the talks he had with the sheriff ..the 1st thing that popped in my head was how many super crazy and grisly murders I've read about or watched in KY...so I suppose that was fitting to use for a book that made him "famous"

I don't think she was concerned with the book flopping. When she said she would leave if things went bad again, I took it to be a reference to how his wrong theories had ruined lives with his last book, or whatever the sheriff was alluding to in the beginning of the movie.
shareThe two exchanges below between the husband and wife are from the Sinister subtitle file. Their conflict indicates that she was concerned about his neglect of their kids due to his drive to get out from under financial strain.
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:43,750
We haven't sold the old house yet.
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:46,636
Once it's gone, we'll be able to afford
a few extra things.
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:49,093
Then sell it already.
Lower the price if you have to.
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,553
We've already lowered it
as much as we can.
00:09:51,716 --> 00:09:55,061
The market's terrible. Once we're not
paying two mortgages, we'll be fine.
00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,939
And once I sell my new book,
we'll be on Easy Street.

Kentucky Blood was ten years ago.
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:57,474
And?
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:01,434
And... what if that was your 15 minutes?
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:05,813
OK, what if it was'?
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:11,106
If it was, you can't just spend
the rest of your life chasing after it.
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:14,196
If you miss out on these years
with the kids, you won't get them back.
00:12:14,359 --> 00:12:16,487
I just need one more chance,
that's all, one more.
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:19,327
- OK. good.
- I got a good feeling about this.
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:22,455
But, Ell.
I don't think I can do this again.
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:25,666
- Honey' you're not gonna have to.
- No. I mean it.
00:12:27,205 --> 00:12:30,129
If this goes sour like last time.
00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:34,091
I'll take Trevor and Ashley
and go back home to my sister's.
I think the last lines support my point. If things "go sour" this time. I do think you are also right about the neglect of the kids, but part of it was also a concern about things getting ugly for them in the town.
