A review by comegailaway
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense slow-paced

5.0

This is the first non-fiction book I have read in a while, mainly because I usually find them hard to read and difficult to follow. This is not the case with KOTFM. Grann was able to tell this story in a way that was succinct and did not confuse. I was able to follow the story and understand what was going on, although I did have to re-read a few parts just to make sure I had the individuals straight. 

It’s heartbreaking to me that so many of us, myself included, don’t know the story of the Osage killings. I was never told about this in school and a lot of people I have talked with about it are also unfamiliar. It’s a depressing reality that we still do not know more, and that we probably never will. But KOFTM does a great job at telling what we do know and shedding light on what is still unknown. I’d recommend this book to anyone.
