One of the best books I’ve read this year.
It’s true crime + ignored US history + captivating narration. I learned SO much, not just about the Reign of Terror on the Osage Tribe, but about American Indian history & US history as well. In another life I will be a history teacher and require my students to read this. A must read for any history/true crime lover.

Fascinating story, great research, decent storytelling. I became bored and inattentive more often than I expected. (Might be user error.)
Tragic part of US history that is not well known. I had to keep reminding myself that this was non-fiction. It is horrible what the Osage people went through.
Highly recommend !
Highly recommend !
Just as good as I remember it! Read the physical copy a couple years ago and just listened to the audio book. Super excited to see how this is in movie format!
