The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Average rating4.1
Solid 4 stars. The book is split up into three sections of unequal lengths – what happens to the Osage, what happens when the Department of Justice gets involved, and how the journalist pursued additional research and evidence for some of the unsolved matters. I started to lose interest after the second section wrapped up, though this may be due to the change in narrators. (There are three narrators for the audiobook.)
A fascinating glimpse into harrowing crimes and the impact on the Osage long-term. I also think that it looked very closely at the stereotype of “drunk Indians” and turned it on its head.
