Killers of the Flower Moon: A Haunting True Crime Tale

David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon is a gripping, meticulously researched true crime account of one of the most sinister crimes in American history. This historical whodunit examines the serial murder of wealthy Osage Native Americans in Oklahoma in the 1920s, when oil deposits beneath their land brought them immense wealth and then attracted greedy outsiders.

Grann’s masterful storytelling reveals a dramatic web of murder, greed, corruption and exploitation, as well as a nation grappling with the definition of itself – once again. As Grann writes: “The Osage had become the wealthiest people on earth… And then they began to be killed.” The book also deals quite pointedly with America’s historical treatment of its native peoples.

Killers of the Flower Moon offers readers a devastating and thorough account of greed, prejudice, and callous arrogance. More than just a tragic hero in this horrific tale, Tom White represents the history we ought not to forget.
It’s impossible to read Killers of the Flower Moon without getting angry — or at least it should be- at the many injustices that occurred because white culture dictated its superiority. There was never any real justice for any of these murdered people — JUSTICE being that simple concept Americans love to pretend embodies their nation.


The final third or so of the book is White’s story as he gets increasingly frustrated by his inability to bring Woodrow, Hale, and even Ernest the Undertaker (who refusal to bury certain bodies sent huge red flags up in relation with many Osage deaths) and no one finds a single piece of this suspicious but don’t whataboutism at me- locking up ALL Munis could have helped prevent plenty more murders.
So why should you read KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON? As I said earlier, there are facts about your country you may not know depending on how precocious a reader or student you were/are. This is one example among hundreds if not thousands.”
