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

I’m glad I read this nonfiction account about the murders of the Osage Indians who were murdered for their wealth. I struggled with the writing style as it was a bit dry and there were too many characters to keep track of in the book.

Fascinating telling of yet another shameful chapter in America's history of murderous greed.

Powerfully moving and a devastating true story.

Grann's book tells the story of a string of murders of Osage Indians in Oklahoma in the 1920s and the web of people that were involved. I really enjoyed reading it. It was well researched and it read almost like an episode of 48 Hours. I also like that the author included pictures throughout the book which I have rarely seen in other historical books (they are usually on glossy pages in the middle of the book). If you like mysteries and true crime then you will like this book.

I thought this was well researched and full of details. What a tragedy this story is. Greed and murders for money. The way that the Osage and other tribes have been treated is a horror. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although the subject matter is very sad.
