This book is about a woman who is accused of shooting her husband for insurance money. The writer, Frank J Daniels is a prosecutor and he chose to write the story of his prosecution of this woman. I found it hard to wade through as he is not the best writer, although he is probably an excellent prosecutor. I think he needs to stick to that and leave the writing to someone else.

He bogs the reader down in too many technicalities that goes on for pages and pages, consequently the narrative doesn't flow smoothly because of it. In spite of his writing, the story is compelling and if one can mentally edit out what is mind-numbing and skip to the meat of the narrative, it is a good read.
