This book tells the disturbing and convoluted tale of the Osage murders. It’s very informative but a little difficult for my short attention span. I finally switched it to an audiobook and finished it within a day.

I finished the book. However, I have what's likely the flu, and am doped up to the eyeballs so here are some probably incoherent notes. 
There can never really be justice on stolen land. These murders are within living memory, just about. And then they were well within living memory of manifest destiny, land grabs, the trail of tears etc. It's all a very American story, and not at all unfamiliar. But it's no less shocking or saddening.

This case is completely insane and so so heartbreaking. I think non fiction like this is always at risk of being super dry and boring, but Grann tells the story beautifully.
