This was a fun read. The book is a collection of fraud stories grouped by fraud type. The book goes into just enough detail to explain without losing interest and not too deep to get lost.

The book is full of information; I feel a bit overwhelmed. Perhaps some summaries throughout the book would be helpful. I recommend it.
