Destiny Betrayed (Second Edition) is probably the better of the two to get an overview of the whole case.
If a discussion of Bugliosi's book is of more interest to you, then
Reclaiming Parkland would be more specific.

With respect to Bugliosi it is my understanding that he was a meticulous researcher and claims to have read everyone of the sources and his bibliography. I obviously can't testify that that is true but I do believe that is what he claimed.
It's my understanding the book was co-written with Fred Haines and later Dale Myers. It could be some errors of fact are attributable to them.

Yes I do have Family connections on the issue. My father was a staff attorney on the Warren commission. I myself have been interviewed by a couple of authors writing books on the subject, and who wanted my take on my father's intellectual honesty probity and rebelliousness. I do not place blind trust in anything government does. But I believe the Warren commission got this one right and I believe that's demonstrably true.
AFAICT I have no family, personal, or professional connections to either the Warren Commission and its supporters, nor to any of its critics. I believe that with respect to naming Oswald as the lone assassin of Kennedy is a demonstrably unsafe conclusion.

I assume you know that Bugliosi put on a mock trial in this issue against Jerry Spence in London many years ago and the jury came back convincingly bugliosis way. Spence was on the side of the conspiracy therapist such as yourself that posited some other theory, I believe it was garrisons, are as to what actually happened.
Yes, I have heard about that particular mock trial, and also I am aware that several mock trials have been held and that they have come to a variety of verdicts.

My apologies for typos and otherwise in precise language. I'm dictating this as I drive.
That is fine - it would be churlish to try and exploit typos or grammar as if such minutia were important.
