Title: A well-written trifle.
Product review: This book was very much a disappointment both in its attempt to exonerate attorney Sheila McGough and in its weak attempt to make some larger points about the law and lawyers in general. Janet Malcolm is an excellent writer and there are some nice pithy aphorisms in the book. Unfortunately, this short book does not go into enough depth to resolve Ms. McGough's guilt or innocence. In essence, the reader is asked to trust Ms. Malcolm's instincts as to who the con artists were in the story she describes. I would pass on this book as it resolves and illuminates nothing.
