A Mundane, dull, mediocre book of the trial of Lizzie Borden accused of the Thursday morning, August 4, 1892 murder of her step mother Abby and her father Andrew.

While the book contains many facts, it falls flat in adequately depicting the public fascination lo these 117 years later of the very compelling and obsessively researched tale of Lizzie Borden.

Lizzie was no doubt a strange and odd Victorian woman who most likely took a hatchet and whacked her step mother 19 times and then followed through with giving papa Andrew 11 spite-driven blows.

I give this book 1/2 stars...not recommended. ( )
