This was an important and hard hitting investigative journalism piece about a topic I didn't know a lot about beyond the major headlines. Brown does a great job of delving into three components of Epstein's story: the abuse and nauseating crimes he committed, the lengths various people and groups went to to cover it up and let Epstein off, and Brown's own story at investigating and talking to victims years later. This book was clearly well-researched and it's obvious that Brown is passionate about what she does and the story she's reporting on. I learned a lot and was infuriated the whole time, but I guess I expected nothing less.
At times, the pacing was a little slow and the timeline jumps seemed a little scattered, but I still think this is a great reference for anyone wanting more information on this case.
