A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE STARRING LEONARDO DICAPRIO

From the bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a true-life murder story which became one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they 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. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.

The story is very well written and hugely interesting. Written in parts like a novel, in parts like a history book, it brings the facts to fore in a gripping manner. But the change of speakers is tiresome. Through three speakers, the accents change strongly, from a New England sharpness over a southern drawl and somewhere in between. Keeping with the characters, the places and times is tough anyway in such an exhaustively researched book. With changing voices, it's like a new start everytime, which is a pity.

Great book, but speaker changes tire
