This book had an interesting premise regarding a fictional account of the murders of Lizzie Borden's father and stepmother. The story is told in the different viewpoints of Lizzie, her sister Emma, the maid Bridget, and a man named Benjamin. The story starts off with Lizzie finding her father dead and subsequent discovery of her stepmother's death. The different viewpoints describe the events leading up to the discovery and the activities that occur in the investigation.

For me, this book was just ok. I had gone into the reading with getting a thrilling account of what possibly could have happened regarding these murders as Lizzie was subsequently acquitted of the murders. Though the overall tone was creepy (which I tend to like), the overall outline and plot development of the book did not excite me. I was constantly wishing this book would end even though it was a relatively short book.
