1Opinion of the Court
CARNES, Circuit Judge:
This diversity case arises from a book written by John and Patricia Ramsey about the police investigation into their daughter’s murder. Linda Hoffmann-Pugh, the Ramseys’ former housekeeper, brought suit against the Ramseys, alleging libel and slander under Georgia law in connection with the book and its promotion. The district court granted the Ramseys’ motion to dismiss Hoffmann-Pugh’s complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. This appeal followed. For the reasons we will discuss, we affirm.
