]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71346494 to: Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders (Hardcover) by William R. Drennan
What an intriguing read! I was hesitant about getting this book when I visited Oak Park, Ill. and the Frank Lloyd Wright house there, only because it looked like a low-budget endeavor. However, I was very impressed with Drennan's writing style and depth of research in this book. One thing that bothered me was that Drennan seems quick to dismiss some theories about the Taliesin murders, but it isn't clear if that is due to his own opinions or the fact that the bulk of the research he had done led him to a particular conclusion. In the latter case, it would have been nice to hear why the research bent one way versus another, especially considering most of the "research" on the murders came from the (biased) media.

Wright's psychological and religious idiosyncracies are developed very well in this book, and it has intrigued me to see more of Wright's work. One question I had was whether Catherine was ever suspected as being linked to Carlton, the killer? She seems like a rather deulsional character with her outlook on Wright's public affair and she seems a little too "perfect" in her little Oak Park life. Was there a reason she was never identified as having played an indirect part in this? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70618082 The House of the Seven Gables (Modern Library Classics) by Nathaniel Hawthorne
