axiomer's review

dark informative sad medium-paced

3.75

Crime story based on true events. In two thirds of the book the historic events as they were known previously are described novel-like, but not in great detail. In the last third of the book the author describes how his research uncovered more related crimes.

dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.25

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.
