My biggest takeaway here is how easy it was to get away with murder 100 years ago! Especially the murder of someone who isn’t white. The lack of initial investigation into the Osage murders is astonishing (though probably some of that is because people were paid off to look the other way). And not that we don’t have corruption and racism now, but at least DNA, fingerprints, and autopsies are de rigueur. The events themselves here are interesting, but the writing didn’t wow me. There was some good contextual research added in, but for such a sensational story, I expected the prose to be more compelling.
