Grann clearly put a lot of research and care into the telling of this story. It is thorough, it is biting, and it is real. It was extremely difficult and sad to read, but an incredibly important story to tell. I appreciated how much Grann stressed that, although it centers around a conspiracy of a few men, it was a deeply structural situation that created the Reign of Terror of the Osage.
