Dated, newspaper articles, so not a thru plot. Interesting in spots, up and down. It's probably good to have a reminder that not all cops and prosecutors are unethical and/or criminals, just some.

Due to the nature of the book being a collection of newspaper article collected from Connelly's time as a crime reporter, there is a lot of repetition, which kind of bogs down the flow of the writing and becomes a bit boring. If some of the repetition could have been edited out, it might have been a 4 star read. I thought the cases were interesting overall.
