Got this book through paperbackswap.com. I had put it on my wish list after seeing it on someone else's list of good books. Started it last week and finished it today (11/6/2020). I read a lot of books--mostly fiction--and enjoyed this book. I had never heard of the "Reign of Terror." I was shocked at the number of suspicious deaths that occurred among the Osage tribe as well as how many people were involved in sweeping it all under the rug. I also had no idea how the FBI came about. As I was reading, I thought that this story should be made into a movie or a documentary. Contrary to many of the folks who gave this book one or two stars (on Amazon), I thought the book was well written and interesting.
