Synopsis
Supplying both a gripping mystery story and a portrait of the artist in his prime, William Drennan wades through the myths surrounding Wright and the massacre, casting fresh light on the formulation of Wright’s architectural ideology and the cataclysmic effects that the Taliesin murders exerted on the fabled architect and on his subsequent designs.

July 19, 2009: This book is a documentary of the murders at Taliesen. It's well researched, but the author's attempts to include every possibility make it a slow read. It's a good source for term papers on Frank Lloyd Wright.

April 06, 2009: This book is a quick read. The sections about the murders are relatively short, slightly graphic. The rest of the book deals with Wright's buildings and his unsettled family life. The most interesting parts deal with life in Chicago and rural Wisconsin in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
