What a tragic story---a real story. I studied and did a project on the Osage nation for school, then saw Scorcese's film Killers of the Flower Moon, which inspired me to read the book. There was so much information; the way Grann was able to stitch everything together into a cohesive story was impressive. Getting to the end and seeing how many people came together to cover up crimes was heartbreaking.

This book covers a very important piece of history that I would assume most people are undereducated about. It does so in a very approachable and well written way, but it very much centers the white people’s stories—following the white detective, murderers, and suspects in depth at the expense of some of the victims stories. That being said, it is well worth the read as long as you keep that in mind throughout.
