A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein
ByPublisher Description
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.

3.5
“After watching the Netflix documentary about Jeffrey Epstein, I sat there in disbelief that his behaviour was allowed and accepted by very powerful people in the world. When he was found dead by ‘apparent’ suicide in August 2019, I thought ‘no way, he was killed off’ so when I saw this book on #borrowbox I couldn’t wait to read it as Jeffrey’s death was very convenient. Alana and Daniel are investigative reporters and they wanted to find out the truth of what really happened to Jeffrey on that night in question. 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. Jeffrey Epstein held secrets and photos of everyone entering his premises. He simply knew too much that would destroy the reputation of people. Jeffrey Epstein was very rich and powerful and this power allowed him to get away with abusing hundreds of young girls. Jeffrey was very smug, he thought he was invincible and could get away with his crimes, what he didn’t think was he would be leaving prison in a bodybag (in my opinion!)
I really liked the book. It was well balanced and argued all theories. Having all the information in this book made for a sickening read especially when you think of 1) how many women he abused and haven’t yet come forward and 2) no justice was served to his victims. Cindy McCain states in 2020 “we all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing but we had no one, no legal aspect to go after him. They were afraid of him.” A disgusting individual who deserves to rot. 4 🌟”
