Story
On 28th January 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s ship The Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, The Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

Story
Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett was among the last of a legendary breed of British explorers. For years he explored the Amazon and came to believe that its jungle concealed a large, complex civilization, like El Dorado. Obsessed with its discovery, he christened it the City of Z. In 1925, Fawcett headed into the wilderness with his son Jack, vowing to make history. They vanished without a trace. For the next eighty years, hordes of explorers plunged into the jungle, trying to find evidence of Fawcett's party or Z. Some died from disease and starvation; others simply disappeared.

Then, one by one, the Osage began to die under mysterious circumstances, and anyone who tried to investigate met the same end.

The second is the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although listeners may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up.

J.

When he proposed international controls over atomic materials, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb, and criticized plans for a nuclear war, his ideas were anathema to powerful advocates of a massive nuclear buildup during the anti-Communist hysteria of the early 1950s.

Everybody was talking about it: giant investment funds were buying it, celebrities like Tom Brady and Justin Bieber endorsed it, and Washington bigwigs debated new regulations, as if it would be a permanent part of our financial system. It seemed like everyone knew someone who was bragging about their returns from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and other bizarrely named "digital assets." Observing this mania, Zeke Faux set out on a quest to pull back the curtain on the wizards behind this new financial machinery.

Publisher's Summary
"A fiercely entertaining mystery story and a wrenching exploration of evil" (Kate Atkinson)
From the best-selling author of The Lost City of Z, soon to be a major film starring Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller, and Robert Pattison, comes a true-life murder story that became one of the newly created 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. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And this was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under mysterious circumstances, and many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered.
As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. It was one of the organization's first major homicide investigations, and the bureau badly bungled it. 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.

Incredible true story, artfully told.
Would you listen to Killers of the Flower Moon again? Why?
Absolutely - I really enjoyed it and listened to it several times before I was satisfied I had the whole incredible story.
What did you like best about this story?
It's incredibly true! A bit difficult to get into to begin with but after a couple of hours, I was hooked. A hideous story really but so riveting I listened over and over. Crushingly sad for the victims of this systemic evil. Interesting tale in relation to the beginnings of the FBI - even they were treated badly back in those days.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No so cannot comment.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Too evil to believe!
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed each of the narrators and each of their different styles.

Important
An important documentation of history that I can only hope the movie captures honestly and with the voice of those who’s story is being told. I finished listening today, after I voted ‘Yes’ in Australia’s 45th referendum, to give our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people constitutional recognition and establish a voice to our parliament about issues relating to them. I have not looked at the news yet & I probably won’t because I know it will not pass and that many tears will be cried. Colonisation has been the worst scourge on our planet and it’s crimes, including the generational trauma and displaced people whose lands were stolen & the genocides attempted on them, continue to reverberate across the world. We can still only hope for some future day, as time grows faster, creating more distance between the past and now than ever before.

broad perspectives an engrossing interpretation
A shocking and thought provoking historical interpretation that forces the reader/listener to ask just what is hidden in our pasts, how depraved can humans become in the strive for wealth over human rights and ultimately, why are we still having to fight against racism and hateful ignorance in the 21st century. Historical interpretation is incredibly important, as it is texts like these that show us the worst of our human nature's and why we need to continue to fight them in our current world.

An interesting story not well told
I am not sure if the book failed to please me because it was poorly written or poorly narrated.
The prose style is very heavy and not easy to follow. Requires heavy concentration. The use of three narrators does not work for me. Two were ponderous and one ok. When I read a book I don’t have three “voices” in my head so I find it detracts from the pleasure.
The story is an interesting one and needs telling.

A tale of stupefying greed, corruption and racism
Where does Killers of the Flower Moon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Osage county, 1920’s Oklahoma, and the native American people, the Osage, were notionally the wealthiest per capita of that time. Sitting atop vast oil reserves to which they had legal title, outsiders viewed their wealth variously as a source of fascination and envy. Indeed, and carrying over much of the vestiges of racism from the prior century, for many the Indians did not deserve to be so fortunate. Government policies of paternalism, corruption at state and local level in which whites were always favoured, and venal criminality leading to countless murders, meant for the Osage this period is remembered as the reign of terror.
I cannot recommend this book enough.

incredible story
quite an incredible and sad story. the writer clearly did his research and that makes the book interesting especially in its third and final part. however, in my opinion the story could have been told and written better. it is a matter of taste, but it is written as a journalistic account more than as a novel. also the part on the FBI and the birth of the FBI are not really relevant to the story and not really interesting either.

The birth of the FBI
Whether you regularly devour history audiobooks or have never even considered listening to non-fiction accounts of the past, I think you'll find it difficult to resist David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon. A history of the crimes inflicted on the Osage Indian nation and the role that the fledgling FBI played in the investigations unfolds more like a fast-paced thriller, not just for the completely enthralling style of writing but also because the events just seem too unbelievable to have ever taken place. While the ever-growing web of lies and conspiracies clearly takes centre-stage here, it's the window into the lives of both the Osage people and the men employed by a young Hoover to carry out his agenda that fascinated me. And with the great Will Patton as one of the narrators, it's easily one of the best books I've listened to in a while.

A story that'll have people talking like 'serial' or 'making a murderer'
Fantastic book but I didn't enjoy the direction of the read. The first narrator seems to have been produced to sound like she's reading a pulp fiction and although the middle section of the book is written in this style the first section is not. In short the read detracts from what is a brilliantly researched and fascinating non fiction.

Fascinating story that needs to be heard.
A sad part of history I'd never heard before and also a fascinating glimpse into that transitional period in America when the wild frontier merged not so gracefully with the modern world and "progress".

Intriguing
This was not a typical murder mystery which is what makes it so compelling. They don't teach this stuff in class. It is genuinely captivating. The narration is good though with varying strengths (I prefer the last two.) that said I literally fell asleep at the end. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't see it through in full consciousness

This is amazing and heartbreaking
This true story is incredible. Well researched, presented and told. Especially loved Will Pattons performance.
