The book peters out in the last third, however, consisting mostly of Gran 's interviews with living descedents of the Osage. Those interviews are interesting but they just lack the electricity of the first parts of the book and aren't helped at all by Grann's insistence of inserting himself into the story (something he did in Lost City of Z as well).
Most egregious though is Grann's rather dubious claim of "solving" one of the unsolved murders. Basically, he reads an old FBI file that, paraphrasing, says "We think this guy did it because x but we can't prove it." Then Grann submits nothing but speculation that he FBI already had.
It's a frustrating ending to an important story that needed to be told.
