Having been interviewed by Ms Malcomb for this book, given that I was personally responsible for the plight of her protagonist, I can say with certainty that she has really missed the truth of this matter. I have read and like a number of her other works, but this book simply ignores by omission the fact that Sheila McGough went to jail for very good reasons. There were many others who were defrauded by her, and it is no fluke or prejudice of our system--as Ms Malcomb avers--that she was found guilty.For a fine author to have been hoodwinked by Ms McGough shows how good she really was at getting other people's money for her criminal boyfriend. This would only be qualified as bad journalism were it an article, although it may be well written. On this case, however, Ms Malcomb just got it wrong--and in a book which is suppposedly relating a true story this is unacceptable.
