Tuesday Readers 2024 In-Person

Join our long-standing Tuesday Readers Book Club with EPL's Joanna Sands!
At Tuesday Readers we don't have a particular theme or focus. Having said that, strong female leads do make a frequent appearance. We read classics and new titles alike, anything really from non-fiction, fiction, historical fiction, mystery, and beyond! Our curiosity and love for reading drive the creation of the reading list. Come join us for a good time and open discussions.
November Read: The Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
The book investigates a series of murders of wealthy Osage people that took place in Osage County, Oklahoma, in the early 1920s after extensive oil deposits were discovered beneath their land. After the Osage are awarded headrights in court to the profits from oil deposits found on their land, the Osage people prepare to receive the wealth to which they are legally entitled from sales of their oil deposits.
The Osage are viewed as the "middle man" and a complex plot is hatched to eliminate the Osage inheritors one by one, by any means possible. Officially, the count of the wealthy Osage victims reaches at least 20, but Grann suspects that hundreds more may have been killed because of their ties to oil. The book details the newly formed FBI's investigation of the murders, and the eventual trial and conviction of cattleman William King Hale as the mastermind behind the plot.
