This was an interesting story about something I‘d never heard of: the reign of terror on the Osage in the early 1900‘s. It‘s amazing how much we don‘t know about the horrible tragedies against native Americans. It was much more textbook/documentary than I generally like, but interesting enough I kept reading it.

Finally got to read it. Took him 5 years of research. I‘ve watched old interviews. My brother has a copy of the 1968 movie .👏👏. It‘s the one I want to watch as it‘s the one Truman had complete control of. Lots of old stuff about it all on YouTube and Google. Excellent writing. Glad I finally got to read it. My reading slow at the moment. Weather here is so nice . I‘ve been out and about a lot.

Tamra I‘ve been waiting ages for my audio library hold to come in! 4d
TheLudicReader And so interesting that Harper Lee helped him with research. 4d
Jeg @TheLudicReader that is interesting. Did not know that. When I watched the old interviews with him I got a surprise. He wasn‘t what I expected. I can imagine him and Harper being friends. 3d
TheLudicReader The character of Dill was based on Truman Capote as Capote and Lee knew each other as children. @Jeg 3d

As a whole it is good, exposing the heinous crimes against the Osage, the men who searched for justice. Note about the audio: it is split into 3 parts w/ 3 narrators, the first of which was a bit kindergarten teacher, & did not feel like it fit.

IMASLOWREADER didnt know it was a book but saw the movie…such evil things done to the osage tirbe 4d
5feet.of.fury @IMASLOWREADER I hadn‘t heard of the book until the movie came out! I‘m definitely going to give it a watch! 4d
IMASLOWREADER @5feet.of.fury my husband said it was slow but i loved it…now ill have to get the book and read it (edited) 3d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Written by the journalist son of Detective Tom Jensen, this graphic novelization of the Green River Killer case, and his father‘s part, is a bit of an odd endeavor, but thoughtfully created. Out of print, purchase second-hand, and well worth the $30. This completed my brief deep dive into this case (enneagram 5 #iykyk). Fuck you, Gary Ridgway.

vivastory I almost picked up that B&N tote the other day. Glad you liked this one 5d
britt_brooke @vivastory I bought it at our B&N on its last days in business. 😩 But it‘s my new favorite bag! 4d

I am starting this true story without seeing the film yet. I liked the author‘s Lost City of Z.

kspenmoll A great great book.💚 6d
KCofKaysville @kspenmoll Good to hear! 6d
5feet.of.fury I‘m listening to the audio of this one, I‘ve been enjoying it so far, but I distracted myself at first by trying to picture who was playing who in the movie and then that person would get murdered.. Guess that wasn‘t DeNiro then 😅 6d

I admit I was intrigued by the Murdaughs. I watched the whole trail on CourtTV. Of course, when I found out about this book, I had to read it. It's the memoir of the reporter that knew something was off from the beginning Mandy Matney.

Though this book.has had mixed reviews, I liked it. I gave it 3.5⭐ because there were parts that got a little bogged down. If you were interested in the cases against Alex, give the book a try.
