This felt more like a thriller than a non-fiction. They say reality is stranger than fiction and I wholeheartedly agree.

Blood Cries Out, indeed.

So, I read this a few weeks ago and have really already forgot most of what happened(not to be mean)but that‘s the truth. I remember liking the story but it was really slow and just not so much for me….loved my picture though❤️🤷🏼♀️
I wanted to read this one before watching the movie and it didn‘t disappoint. The audio was fantastic and even though it‘s non-fiction, the story is so disturbing you could almost believe it was fiction. It‘s infuriating how the Osage and other tribes were treated during this time period and even more frustrating, those who were responsible for the crimes, I don‘t feel they received a just punishment.
Crooked families, drugs, land theft and mostly a story of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIWG2S) come together to make this outstanding twisty mystery set in NE Oklahoma written by a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
I finally visited my Nannys grave and discovered her headstone is wrong. She was more of a mom to me than my own. I personally believe that when we die we become part of the universe in a bigger way than stuck at our bodies resting place. (Which is why I hadn't been before.) She was 96 when she passed. The question is, what do I do about her stone? Do I risk upsetting the rest of the family by bringing it up? Why did no one else notice?
My library hold came in finally 🙌 the foreword was so powerful and has me so ready to learn about this history.
Anything by Billie Letts is a good read.

I don‘t read true crime, but the way this book was set up I wasn‘t lost in the details and there were lots. It was extremely interesting and I had no idea about this history, although horribly not surprising. I hope others get justice too. I would suggest reading the book before watching the movie. It‘s easier to follow when you actually know all the details. I liked the movie, although it was very long and as usual they changed some things.
