In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Osage Saga or report about FBI's beginnings?
Revisado: 04-26-23
I was thoroughly engrossed by this book and learned for the first time of the struggles of the Osage. It is an important story to tell. it's a shame these poor people lost so many in such tragic ways. a true corruption story. The author lost me when describing so much about the FBI's formation and Agent White. Even though I loved both narrators, the switch bothered me as well. I have three hours left on the book and I pray I don't hear any more about agent White and his agents. it just wasn't what I thought I was buying. Great writer, felt like he needed more to make an entire book so he went on a tangent. It's connected, yes, but deadens one's ears to the Osage story with the dull end.

Good story, but a little slow and boring

like a one location movie
Revisado: 07-18-22
Unfortunately, I have listened for about five hours and nothing has happened except a girl being institutionalized and that extremely drawn out in detail. I like descriptive writing, but when it is about different characters, locations, and events. The narrators in this book were outstanding! It was read at just the perfect rate. Not sure I will finish this title. What a sad choice for a vacation listen. By the description, I was looking forward to it. No mystery, only grotesque detail and sadness. If you have lost a child or given one up for adoption. Do not read this!

Amber has purchased her very first home. Her "Dream home" was built in the 1800s but despite the advice of everyone around her to pass over it, she bought it anyway. This house has a lengthy and devastating history. The home comes to life after renovations get underway. This story will scare you and make you cry.

said is dead / narrator's first book?
Revisado: 04-21-22
I struggled to listen to the sample. All I could hear was, "she said" or " he said." Somehow these words just jump out at you. As a teacher, even my second graders learn that "Said is dead!" There are much more specific abd I interesting word choices to use, I suggest the author tries it.

Abigail was the last keeper of the house, the last to know the Howland family's secrets. Now, in the name of all her brothers and sisters, she must take her bitter revenge on the small-minded Southern town that shamed them, persecuted them, but could never destroy them.

Read a historical newspaper instead.
Revisado: 12-05-21
Gave up, there seemed to be no storyline but just and endless introduction of characters and locations after hours of listening. Nothing except death and a couple of weddings happened. Feels like you are listening to someone read the newspaper, but with more flowery language.
