Book Reviews of Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders
Book Review: "Enquiring minds want to know" journalism
Summary: 3 Stars
Mixed view of this book. The author has dug deeply to unearth whatever facts are still out there about this tragedy. And, the story is compelling. However, I am bothered somewhat that recent books on Wright have focused soley on the sensational aspects of his life rather than the work which made him famous and which is still relevant today!
As for the content, I am not totally convinced by the timeline of events which he puts forth. However, he does convincingly demolish the long-standing, accepted version. That leaves some big questions which will probably never be answered. Finally, Bill (the author) has an irritating tendency to constantly refer to Frank Lloyd Wright as "Frank". Bill needed a more competent editor.
