dark informative mysterious sad medium-paced

4.25

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.

dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.0

This is an incredible story about how greed of white immigrants caused the deaths of so many Osage people. It’s a disgusting honestly but a very necessary read. There is so much hidden in American history and I am thankful that this story came to light. My only criticism was in the structure. The 2nd section, to me, could have just been a separate book. Trying to integrate the founding of the FBI into this didn’t work for me. So I gave it 4 stars.

The behavior of these men is truly disgusting. I was happy to see that Wikipedia has them characterized as serial killers. That’s exactly what it was.
