I loved the story and history, however the writing is so repetitive and annoying with constant teases to what's to come later. You can probably skip the first 300 pages and read the final 30 or so summary and get all the details.

Marcus K. reviewed Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
Review of 'Killers of the Flower Moon' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A fascinating history of murders, corruption, and greed that I had never heard of before. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Martin Scorese movie based on the book.
The book is a bit dry, hence the 3 stars, it is written focused on facts and laying out what happened and not nearly as much story telling. It is well researched but more documentary then historical fiction and even though it is a relatively short book found myself struggling through it.
