Reviews

Epstein reflects the hard work and research Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin, and James Robertson have put to tell this horrible story. It is well-researched and beautifully written. It should be required reading for young journalists who aspire to become investigative journalists. Epstein is the true story of crime in high places, but it is as gripping and thrilling as a good novel can be. It is a perfect match for those who love to read true crime.
