monicalaurette's review against another edition
While I’m interested in the unsolved Borden case, I didn’t like this fictional take. It almost felt wrong to make up what the characters would have been thinking at those times, and I just don’t like John either.
I’ll just stick to true crime stuff if I want more on Lizzie Borden.

I don't think that it's my personal taste to read about historical fiction about murders in this context, which isn't this book's fault, it's just something I didn't know about myself. It might be different if I knew more about the murders before hand, but I didn't know this was about actual events until I was almost done with the book.
Graphic: Blood and Death
it's literally about a double murder, it's self explanatory
