I went into reading this book thinking I'd not find this book interesting and probably be bored since its advertised as the creation of the FBI. But this was such a pleasant surprise. While it does discuss thoroughly the creation of the FBI, it also thoroughly takes you on the journey of murders that occurred in the Osage County. It was mainly a book trying to figure out the murderer and then follows the court case. I would say only about 20-30% of the book was about the FBI creation. I definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in murder crimes. Don't be turned away by the mention of the FBI. Also, this will be a movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert Deniro in 2022, directed by Martin Scorsese, so don't sleep on this book! It's bound to be an award winning movie just like the book.
