4.0

Expertly researched and delivered by Grann, it’s a captivating and heart-breaking story that deserves to be told. Grann weaves a web of all the players involved along with the overarching trends and events of the time, while never losing focus on the suffering of the Osage people.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I listened to this in one day because I could not put it down.

The book is split into three basic sections: the story of Mollie Burkhart, the story of Tom White, and the story of the author. The movements are extremely well executed and the literary voice is engaging. It's a very well written book.

But, like, more than that: history is insane. The things we don't get taught are wild.  I need everyone I know to read this book. 

Total score: 5/5 stars
