She authored an article on Enron for the March 5, 2001, issue of Fortune entitled, "Is Enron Overpriced?"
The article noted some irregularities in Enron's financial documents that were available to the public, suggesting the company's then-record high stock price was unjustified but she did not at that point suspect fraud at Enron.
After Enron's rapid collapse later in 2001, McLean co-authored, with Peter Elkind, the book The Smartest Guys in the Room (2003) which detailed the corrupt business practices of Enron officials.
The book was later made into the Academy Award-nominated documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.

She co-authored with Joe Nocera a book on the 2008 financial crisis titled All the Devils Are Here.
In May 2008, she married attorney Sean Berkowitz, the former Director of the United States Department of Justice Enron Task Force.
She began as a contributor to Slate 's Moneybox column, in 2010 and "The Bulldog" column in Fortune.
In September 2015, she published Shaky Ground: The Strange Saga of the U.S. Mortgage Giants which examines the governance and financial situation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac seven years after the 2008 financial crisis.
The Washington Post selected it as one of the best nonfiction books of 2015.
In September 2018, she published Saudi America: The Truth about Fracking and How It's Changing the World which examined the "fracking revolution" and U.S. energy independence.
