Borden Island
"Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty one."
Did Lizzie Borden really murder her parents?
On the morning of August 4, 1892, Abby and Andrew Borden were brutally murdered in their home just a few steps from passersby on busy Second Street. No trace of the killer or killers was found.
There were suspects, though.
The daughters, Emma and Lizzie Borden, were suddenly wealthy women. Lizzie and the Borden family maid, Bridget, had both been home at the time of the murders but swore they saw nothing. Uncle John had stayed, unexpectedly, in the Borden guest room the night before the murders, though he'd brought no luggage.
Lizzie quickly became the focus of attention and then the main suspect.
But did she kill?
Exhaustively researched, Killing the Bordens tells the true crime Borden murder mystery and the life of Lizzie Borden as a novel, and reveals who committed the murders, how, and why.
