Summary

Hunting Ghislaine tells the extraordinary, shocking story of Ghislaine Maxwell, the former partner of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and the daughter of media baron Robert Maxwell.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who suffered a tragedy, the death of her father, a war hero, a philanthropist, a good man, in suspicious circumstances. She fled to New York where she made a new life with a brilliant mathematician. Her name is Ghislaine Maxwell and her lover was Jeffrey Epstein. Through Jeffrey, and her family name, Ghislaine became friends with some of the most powerful people on earth, ex-President Bill Clinton and President-to-be Donald Trump and the second son of the Queen of England, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.

But this is no fairy tale. Hunting Ghislaine sets out the other side of the story, and it's one of the darkest you will ever come across.

Ghislaine's father, Robert Maxwell, was a sadist, a war criminal, a monster. His cruelty deformed Ghislaine Maxwell long before she met Jeffrey Epstein. Her one-time lover was convicted for being a paedophile. So Ghislaine's life has been spent serving not one monster but two.

In Hunting Ghislaine, legendary investigative journalist John Sweeney uncovers the truth behind
this fairy tale story in reverse.

Well researched

A well researched well read and unsettling account of the Maxwell/Epstein years…His book on the Scientologists is worth a listen too

Interesting listen

If I listen to an audiobook to the end in one stint then it's a sure-fire indication that it's holding my attention. Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and found it a fascinating listen. Early on I started to think that there was too much about Robert Maxwell in there but as the story progressed and this fell into context I felt that it was necessary to give an insight into Ghislaine Maxwell and what led to her becoming who she is. As John Sweeney points out, it is hard to feel any sympathy for her because she had so little for her victims. Would thoroughly recommend.

Another fab book by Sweeney

Enjoyed this as much as Sweeney’s Church of Fear. Factual but with heart and emotion in it’s telling. Also still managed humour despite the horrific subject matter.

The JUST trial of This land Maxwell

Loved this audio.
Narration, fantastic along with the full story of Robert Maxwell and his well trained daughter.
Like father, like daughter is all that can be gleaned from this atrocious story.
I kept up as much as possible with the daily newspaper reporting of her trial, but this very well researched and attendance at the trial shows just how much this woman would do for Epstein and his money.
I hope a little black book will emerge in the future, exposing those who have escaped being named.
I wonder how much "slush money" has been paid to keep people quiet?
Brilliant journalism from John Sweeney.
