A Convenient Death

The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein

By: Alana Goodman, Daniel Halper

Narrated by: Maggi-Meg Reed

Who killed Jeffrey Epstein? Two journalists look for answers. A must-read for fans of the Netflix docuseries Filthy Rich.

In A Convenient Death, investigative reporters Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper search for the truth of what really happened to Jeffrey Epstein. With access to Epstein's victims and lawyers, to doctors, Wall Street insiders and law enforcement officers, they reveal the dirty secrets and sinister ties that may have driven someone in Epstein’s circle to take matters into their own hands.

On the morning of August 10, 2019, Epstein, friend and financier to the rich and powerful, was found unresponsive in his prison cell in lower Manhattan, where he awaited his second trial for sexual predation and other crimes. He was rushed to a local hospital and one hour later pronounced dead by suicide. Across the world, a sinister web of powerful billionaires, celebrities, and politicians, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, had reason to sigh with relief at news of Epstein’s death. Having flown on his private planes and visited his many homes—the sites of so many illicit activities—they had much to lose if their transgressions were ever exposed. And now, Epstein was silenced for good.

But cracks in the official story soon emerged. And the questions kept coming:
· Why did the surveillance cameras in front of Epstein’s cell stop working that night?
· Why was Epstein's cellmate transferred out and never replaced?
· Why was a high-profile prisoner so suddenly taken off suicide watch and left unguarded for eight hours?

Was Epstein murdered to protect the powerful people who feared what he might reveal? The American public deserves to know the truth. With this book, they can finally understand the facts and decide for themselves.

great book

awesome listen. cruised right through it. Out was good to get an unbiased look at J.E.

An interesting take on an complex question

A very eye-opening investigation. No questions answered, but, all and all, an interesting listen. Great narration as well. I'm open-minded to the possibility he was killed to prevent dirty secrets.

The plot

the narrator did a great job of reading and throwing feeling into it. I'll buy more!

Dark, investigative, lots of new information

I followed the Epstein case fairly closely and still learned a lot from this book. The authors thoroughly investigated and it shows through their detailed information and sources. It is a worthy, quick read. I think everyone will finish the book thinking the same person is responsible for his death, and I hope more information comes out to prove it.

Wow! The truth is out there.

I only think that this helps frame the ongoing struggle today as victims try to obtain the pictures and data from the Justice Department. Definitely worth the read.
