The Death of an Heir: Adolph Coors III and the Murder That Rocked an American Brewing Dynasty by Philip Jett

informative medium-paced

3.0

 Adolph Coors III was born in Colorado in 1915. He was the son of Adolph Coors Jr, heir to the Coors Brewing Dynasty. Coors attended Cornell University, where he was also president of the Quill and Dagger society and involved in a fraternity. On February 9, 1960, Coors was murdered in a kidnapping attempt gone awry. I will not go deep into the details of the case, but it was very interesting how the investigation played out. If you are interested in family dynasties or just the history of brewing companies, this may be a great book for you to check out. It was very well done, and provided a lot of information both about the case and history of the company. I own the Audible version, but the physical copy is under 400 pages.
