Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

dark mysterious slow-paced

3.75

Really interesting investigation of a part of American history I had never heard about. Well-researched. So many names it was sometimes difficult to track. Eye-opening to the blatant injustice and racism directed toward Native Americans 100 years ago. If you don’t know about the oil that made many Osage wealthy, check into it!

Some dead body descriptions were a little too much for me and there were several. So much racism and death!
