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.

Struggled through the first narrator, but the story picked up quickly after that.

a horrifying and depressing true crime tale of racism and greed in america’s history. well-written and thoughtfully researched, but felt it could’ve been told more succinctly. quite depressing, though a story in need to be told.

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.
