Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
dark
informative
fast-paced
4.5
I finished the book. However, I have what's likely the flu, and am doped up to the eyeballs so here are some probably incoherent notes.
There can never really be justice on stolen land. These murders are within living memory, just about. And then they were well within living memory of manifest destiny, land grabs, the trail of tears etc. It's all a very American story, and not at all unfamiliar. But it's no less shocking or saddening.
