I found the story incredibly compelling with a true two-faced savior-turned-villain presented in a satisfying who-dunnit fashion. But more than simply \"who killed the Burkharts\", which is a fascinating mystery unto itself, it also explores how the tale that we hear is just one small example of a much larger plot of many different white people to swindle money from the Osage, which involved marriage and\/or murder. The story of FBI agent White is also enthralling, as he seems like a genuinely good man trying to do his best. The final part, taking place in present day, demonstrates the lasting affects of this ignored killing rampage and makes you wonder how far-reaching this sinister plot was. A particularly delightful part of the book was the many pictures, which really added to the story.' - \u003c\/em\u003eChelseal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAI Summary\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Grann’s \"Killers of The Flower Moon\" uncovers a chilling true story of greed, betrayal, and murder in 1920's Oklahoma.
