Foul Lady Fortune by Chloe Gong

Foul Lady Fortune by Chloe Gong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again Chloe Gong has penned an absorbing part of history---1931 in Shanghai, and interwoven the story of 2 spies of the Nationalists (while also keeping relatives and friends of her first duology in the plot as well) who are tasked with posing as a married couple and to expose who is murdering people with a syringe to the elbow and WHY? But Rosalind and Orion have many secrets that they keep, but as they draw closer to each other and what is really happening, they find so many lies, conspiracies, and mystery upon mystery. I have many questions for the second book- Oliver? Phoebe? Dao Feng? Rosalind? The Hong Family?!? Spies? SuperHuman Chemical? Jiemin? Alisa? Silas?

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Sage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG, what a riveting audiobook, awesomely narrated by: Will Patton , Ann Marie Lee , Danny Campbell. Grann's nonfiction book deals with the mystery of many Osage Indian deaths during the 1920s and 1930s in Oklahoma. When oil is discovered under their land, the Osage become rich and the targets of unsavory men, business men and racism in law enforcement, in the white community, and politics. How people could do this to anyone, much less the Osage Indian is despicable. Grann thoroughly researches the Osage Indian history, culture, community and what the "reign of Terror" did to them. The honesty and diligence of Tom White, a former Texas Ranger who is appointed by J. Edgar Hoover to solve the 24 Osage murders marks the beginning of the FBI. A must read! My thanks to Pat Graham for recommending this book!
