I have read it and it is filled with misinformation, distortions, outright lies and sophistic use of red herrings and straw men. It certainly cannot and does not explain how
a gun with a misattached scope was able to be shot more accurately and faster by an out of practice, mediocre shooter than by firearm experts.

Not only could the experts NOT shoot it accurately until the scope attachment was shimmed into a semblence of proper attachment but many were afraid to shoot the gun at all for fear it would blow up in their faces. This was as poor a gun FOR ANY purposes as could be purchased.

Tracing it to Oswald involves leaps of faith I am not willing to make. Particularly after some of the lies to the Warren Commission told by the FBI and CIA have been revealed under the FOIA. The gun "found" was NOT even the gun he "ordered."

"Try reading CASE CLOSED, by Gerald Posner"

I have. I read it the week it was released and re-read it again later to make sure I didn't get the wrong impression the first time. It's supermarket tabloid journalism at best and written specifically for readers who are looking for a nice clean answer that brings closure, the truth notwithstanding.
