Wonderfully written account of the historical events and perspectives. As an Osage tribal member and family who was impacted by these murders, this book was well researched and caught the emotion of the times.

I found the book to be very interesting and eye opening. I am sorry to say that I knew nothing of the Osage murders. The amount of research that must have been done for this book is remarkable.

Fascinating look at evil and power and shame. The only consolation from the heartbreak is that we live in a different world. For now.

While the story behind this book is fascinating and truly a piece of history that is shamefully looked over in this country, I could think of a hundred different ways it could’ve been told better. If you like the idea of someone sitting down and reading you a history book, this is for you. No character development, no story telling.. just facts, dates, and names… So. Many.. Names. The most unappealing “read” I’ve ever encountered. I can’t wait to see it in the movies though which is the exact opposite of how I usually feel when it comes to the stories I read. I was so disappointed that this incredible piece of history that deserves so much more attention than it’s ever been given, was told in this manner. While it was seemingly accurate, it totally lacked the humanity it sorely deserves.

I am living in Oklahoma so I am somewhat aware of this bit of history; however, this book expands my understanding greatly. It's maybe more far reaching than I could have imagined. My grandfather was one of the drillers in the Osage and Kay counties, so I've heard some stories about the oil discoveries in this area. This is really a great book. I just hope the movie is half as good. If so, maybe it will give these events the attention they deserve.

A lot of great historical info, I was not aware of the plight of the Osage!

Interesting information on Osage murders but felt the book was unorganized and hard to follow. Could use an edit.

I liked this book and believe it's a story that needed to be told, and heard. Very interesting, however the author went on a 2 hour long rant about J. Edgar Hoover and how horrible he was, even though the only Osage murders solved were those solved by the FBI.(under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover) If it weren't for this I probably would have given it a four or five. Good book, but the rant bogged it down for quite a while.

Amazing and eye-opening, could not turn it off

I enjoyed the history of how they solved the murders but kind of a sad ending, though.
