The picture painted of Jeffrey Epstein—and the abuse and miscarriages of justice—in this white-collar crime account will haunt listeners. The authors stick with evidence they uncovered rather than delving too deep into whys and wherefores. The story covers Epstein’s upbringing, financial exploits, extravagant sexual misconduct involving the solicitation of underage girls (of which he was found guilty), and how he attempted to cover his tracks during the investigation and bypassed real punishment for his crimes. Culp reads with a deep, coarse voice that draws out the raw and malicious elements of this true crime tale, but can quickly alter his voice to convey the emotions in the quotes from victims. His pacing and emphasis draw out the tension and heighten the drama. A Little, Brown hardcover. (Oct.)

James Patterson is The Boss. End of.

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page. Simply put: Nobody does it better.

When Patterson’s book Filthy Rich was published, he was surprised at the lack of attention given to what he considered a ‘monster of a case.’ The attention arrived last week following Epstein’s arrest on new sex-trafficking charges in New York.”
