Knowing this is a true story, it has haunted me ever since I read it. There is such evil exposed in the telling of this historical tale.

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.

Killers of the Flower Moon was our book club pick for November discussion. I have had it on my shelf since its release in 2017 and was glad to finally have the push needed to get it read. So glad I did and the movie just released in theaters so it was the perfect time.

I had a vague understanding of the atrocities that occurred involving the Osage Nation, but I had no clue the extent to which they were exploited and murdered.

It was also fascinating to get a glimpse into the creation of the FBI.

This book covers a major part of our nation's history and is an important read for everyone.
