5.0

Truly one of the best books I’ve ever read. Chronicles the grotesque history of abuse and extortion of the indigenous in the americas as a legacy that continues today. The author approaches the nonfiction tale as a narrative beyond reality by how shocking and inane the story of the Osage truly is.

I wished I had read this before I saw the film opening weekend.

Being Native and being in Indigenous spaces, this case was familiar to me, though I didn't know the full story.

While I, like many others, would have liked an Osage to tell this story, I do not have an much of a problem with Grann telling the stories. Because Grann is a journalist and stuck to the facts and acknowledged not only in the acknowledgments who he was getting these stories from throughout the book. It is refreshing to hear someone not from our community accurately portray the prejudices Natives face in the court system. He asked "would any white man at the time convict another white man for killing an Indian?" 

I highly recommend, especially if you are Indigenous and had to walk out of the movie due to the gore.

A non-fiction book that moves with the urgency of a murder-mystery, this account of a forgotten injustice will boil your blood, especially since the crimes were saturated with racism against the Osage First Nations.

This book tells the disturbing and convoluted tale of the Osage murders. It’s very informative but a little difficult for my short attention span. I finally switched it to an audiobook and finished it within a day.
