Who Killed Jane Stanford?: A Gilded Age Tale of Murder, Deceit, Spirits and the Birth of a University by Richard White

dark informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.0

This was a really intriguing concept! I had no idea Stanford University had such an interesting, and dramatic start, or equally as interesting and dramatic founders. I listened to the audio book version of this and I really enjoyed the way Christopher P Brown read the book. I did, however have a little issue with the writing it could get repetitive, and droning covering information multiple times making the book longer than it needed to be. The delivery of information was a little bland like just a series of facts were being stated rather than the author building a story, and the ending was a little frustrating. However I did find the story overall interesting, and this was clearly well researched, and a lot of time and effort went in to gathering the information to put this book together.
