Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75
On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion.

In 1911 two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, read a brochure about a revolutionary fasting treatment that promised a lifetime of good health. The sanatorium in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle, was surrounded by a beautiful forest, sparkling waters and fresh air. The sisters agreed it sounded perfect and exactly the restorative holiday they needed. But within a month of arriving, under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora began to realise the frightening truth – they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium.

Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption.

Publisher's Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history, from the author of The Wager and The Lost City of Z, “one of the preeminent adventure and true-crime writers working today."—New York Magazine • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
“A shocking whodunit…What more could fans of true-crime thrillers ask?”—USA Today
“A masterful work of literary journalism crafted with the urgency of a mystery.” —The Boston Globe
In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.
Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. One of her relatives was shot. Another was poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more Osage were dying under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered.
As the death toll rose, the newly created FBI took up the case, and the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to try to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including a Native American agent who infiltrated the region, and together with the Osage began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
Look for David Grann’s latest bestselling book, The Wager!
What the critics say
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, GQ, Time, Newsday, Entertainment Weekly, Time Magazine, NPR, Vogue, Smithsonian, Cosmopolitan, Seattle Times, Bloomberg, Lit Hub, and Slate
“Disturbing and riveting.... Grann has proved himself a master of spinning delicious, many-layered mysteries that also happen to be true.... It will sear your soul.” —Dave Eggers, New York Times Book Review
“A marvel of detective-like research and narrative verve.” —Financial Times
Editorial Review
From journalist David Grann, this gripping book investigates a series of murders of wealthy Osage people that took place in Osage County, Oklahoma, in the early 1920s—after big oil deposits were discovered beneath their land. After being awarded rights in court to the profits made from oil deposits found on their land, the Osage people prepare to receive the wealth to which they are legally entitled from sales of their oil deposits.
The Osage are viewed as the “middle man”, and a complex plot is hatched to eliminate the Osage inheritors on a one-by-one basis by any means possible. Officially, the count of the full-blooded, wealthy Osage victims reaches at least 20, but Grann suspects that hundreds more may have been killed because of their ties to oil. The book details the newly formed FBI's investigation of the murders, as well as the eventual trial and conviction of cattleman William Hale as the mastermind behind the plot.
Killers of the Flower Moon is being adapted into a film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons and Eric Roth. It will be released in theatres by Paramount Pictures and stream on Apple TV+ in 2023.

I have never been a non-fiction reader but was intrigued when I first heard about it, reads like a murder mystery novel that left me feeling shocked, outraged and not likely to ever forget.

U.S.A. -What’s so Great?
David Grann draws back the thick curtains that have for so long covered the terrible crimes, coverups and injustices done to the Osage people during the early part of the last century. America is not the land where dreams can be pursued and realized by anyone- in the case of the Osage, the Federal Government and the FBI and other levels of law enforcement did not do the events Grann chronicles justice. This is a very revealing read of what goes on when a minority is marginalized and then exploited. As we see with American’s current administration, not much has changed. Excellent read.

A solid presentation of a depressing moment in history
This story is meticulously researched and well presented. The 3 different narrators provide different emphasis to each section of the overall story - sometimes with mixed results. Overall a very good real crime story that is well presented.

Amazing story but …
The was my first audio book and my experience has left me wondering if I like this medium and whether to stick with audible. The female narration in part 1 was absolutely excruciating. There was a lot of backstory in this section, necessary to put this overlooked period into the history books and give a rich context to the story. But her voice was all wrong. Sooooo dull. I almost gave up and thought I’d wait for the movie and then — will Patton’s voice came in part 2. I couldn’t stop listening. I sat on the couch unable to turn off the book! The story picks up pace with the FBI on the hot pursuit of the killers. But Patton’s voice - always riveting - brought this fascinating made for Hollywood story to a next level. Audible please get him to read the whole book!

Not the "feel good" book of the year, but...
...an important story to tell. America is occasionally reminded of how it treated the people who got here first. Considering the predation suffered by the Osage, entirely sanctioned by local government and community leaders, and abetted by a federal government that treated capable adults like children, this should be mandatory reading for high school students. Not America's most shining hour.
The main fault with this presentation was the narration of Ann Marie Lee. I concur with other reviewers who found her "Storytime with Auntie Ann Marie" delivery both inappropriate and lacking the necessary gravitas for the subject matter. The narrator of the second section of the book was great, and the narrator of the final section acceptable. But I wouldn't consider Ms. Lee a candidate for the narration of Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee or The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
Worth a credit, but don't expect to come out of this feeling great about humankind.

Incredible story telling
I was captivated listening to this true story, told from 3 different perspectives. It is hard to comprehend the level of cruelty bestowed upon these people, but important to seek out stories like this to truly understand. I definitely recommend everyone listen to this, to further understand how evil people can be and how this and many other unconscionable acts have been taken against Indigenous peoples
