I read this book from a different perspective from other readers. I am a small town prosecutor, albeit in Canada, so in an apolitical prosecution system. I was so interested to read " Attorney Wirtz'" views in the comments section of Goodreads. My experience as defence counsel in that the only thing worse than a "principled" client is an innocent one. And this woman was clearly both. So I spent a lot of my time sympathizing with her lawyer. My summary: interesting case, some interesting characters, good efforts to explicate the law and procedure. Not spellbinding, but well worth reading. Okay, this is new to me, but I'd put this as a must read for anyone living in the U.S. today...It gives a warning about protecting our rights to privacy and our civil rights. It's also a tribute the character of one small town in Ohio to defend these rights. Lynn Powell the author will be on our campus March 2 for two talks...at noon and 7 pm. Free and open to the public...BGSU Firelands College in Huron, Ohio...
Quite a story, although it became a bit much towards the end. Still recommended.

A little too detailed at times, but overall well told and totally infuriating.

Well written, even better when you know the cast of characters personally.
