With murder, court battles, and sensational newspaper headlines, the story of Lizzie Borden is compulsively listenable and perfect for the Common Core.
Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.
In a compelling, linear narrative, Miller takes listeners along as she investigates a brutal crime: the August 4, 1892, murders of wealthy and prominent Andrew and Abby Borden. The accused? Mild-mannered and highly respected Lizzie Borden, daughter of Andrew and stepdaughter of Abby. Most of what is known about Lizzie’s arrest and subsequent trial (and acquittal) comes from sensationalized newspaper reports; as Miller sorts fact from fiction, and as a legal battle gets under way, a gripping portrait of a woman and a town emerges.
Listeners will devour this nonfiction book that comes across like fiction.

A fascinating journey

I’ve read nearly every available written about Lizzie. What I liked most about Miller’s account is that she debunked several misconceptions about Lizzie’s personality backed by news archives and personal accounts. Lizzie was a woman both of her time and ahead of her time. Longing for independence, perhaps even sexually while also content to do charity work, visit the sick and donate to children and animal charities.
Most Borden scholars believe she committed the murders, because there seem to be no credible alternatives, despite that a Portuguese immigrant in Fall Rivers plead guilty to a similar hatchet murder nearly a year later. The man, with no ties to the community, was later mysteriously pardoned.
Well researched, terribly narrated
