Many have heard the old rhyme: "Lizzie Borden took an ax. She gave her mother forty whacks, and we he saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one." However, many do not realize it came from one of the most horrible and fascinating crimes and trials of the century. In 1892, Lizzie Borden was at home and discovered that both her father and mother had been brutally murder with an ax. The police and public believed she was guilty, but at the trial, she was found innocent. There was not enough evidence to convict. Author Sarah Miller re-examines the evidence, including many photographs and primary documents, and lets you decide if you think Lizzie Borden was the most ingenious murderer or most vilified innocent. I could not put down this fascinating true crime novel. Highly recommended!
