The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden & the Trial of the Century by Sarah Miller
3.0
THE BORDEN MURDERS: LIZZIE BORDEN AND THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY
Written by Sarah Miller
2016; Schwartz & Wade (304 Pages)
Genre: young adult, nonfiction, history, crime, mystery, true crime
RATING: ★★★
In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found murdered in their home and their daughter, Lizzie is soon arrested. In this true crime book, Sarah Miller takes the reader on a linear look at the case from the moment the Bordens are murdered to when Lizzie dies. We sees the different theories that have been thrown around then and now. Where the key players were and their motives. Miller also supplies some historical context of the time to gives us some ideas of what that time was like It reads like a textbook rather than a story which is not a bad thing. While the book is about crime and murder, it isn't gory in details but I would pin this one at mid to late teens to adults. A must for any true crime buff...or one in the making!
