In writing Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann has put together a damning and enlightening true crime book. I was both horrified and riveted by the connections that Grann slowly reveals between each murder. I still can't believe just how deep the conspiracy ultimately went! That being said, I found Grann's writing style to be a bit too dry for my taste. This book is heavy on the details in a way that makes it difficult to digest all at once -- at least, that's how it felt to me.

The book is split into three basic sections: the story of Mollie Burkhart, the story of Tom White, and the story of the author. The movements are extremely well executed and the literary voice is engaging. It's a very well written book.
But, like, more than that: history is insane. The things we don't get taught are wild. I need everyone I know to read this book.
Total score: 5/5 stars
