Welcome back F.A.B. Fam!! This week Moni and Kat finally review "Killers of the Flower Moon" by David Grann. The novel revolves around a series of mysterious murders targeting the Osage Indian Nation in the 1920s. The Osage, having discovered oil on their land, became immensely wealthy. However, this newfound prosperity attracted greed, leading to a string of murders that shook the community. The book follows the investigation led by the newly formed FBI, under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, as they uncover a complex web of conspiracy, corruption, and betrayal. If you love true crime, this book is a historical whodunnit that will leave you forever changed!
