Meaning?

Hi, Would you please tell me what is the meaning of "How convenient" in the following text:

"I'm sorry, Jeri"

" No you're not. I was planning to drive over Saturday and meet with you in private, lay out everything from six murders. Give some guidance here, Lacy."

"I'm out of town this weekend, Jeri. I'm sorry."

"How convenient." After a long pause' she rung off with" Think about this, Lacy. What are you going to do when he kills again?......"

Thanks
