If patricide is your thing, then this book is
for you. This could be one of the
definitive books on the Borden murders.
Sarah Miller has meticulously researched every historical document
relating to the infamous hacking deaths of Andrew and Abbey Borden. Miller uses primary source documents for
all of her dialogue and cites her sources.
The narrative is engaging and readable.
There are inserts with quotes and passages from newspapers and the
trial. Miller does a good job of being
impartial. Fascinating facts and rumors
about Lizzie and the murders ranging from the autopsies to the decapitation of
the bodies by the doctor. This may be a
little long for younger readers.
MS/HS- ESSENTIAL.
