Reviews
"""William Drennan's careful reconstruction of the events at Taliesin before, during, and after August 15, 1914, sheds new light on the tragic happenings of that day."" - Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank ""Drennan retells the story, sparing no details and judiciously placing them in the context of Wright's legendary career and tangled personal life.... Memorable crime books are about revealing character, and this one's best when plumbing the psyches of the murderer... and the self-absorbed genius who buried his grief in 45 more years of work."" - Harold Henderson, Chicago Reader ""Death in a Prairie House is a compelling argument in support of the theory that the Taliesin tragedy profoundly affected not only the future lives of those directly involved (not the least of whom was considered to be the most influential and gifted architect of the time), but likely, the whole course and development of modern architecture."" - Craig Jacobsen, Taliesin Preservation, Inc."""
