The Borden Murders is based on a true crime story which happened during the year 1892. On the morning of Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts, someone violently murdered Lizzie Borden’s father, Andrew, and her stepmother, Abby, in their home by striking them in the head with an ax. When the murder happened, only Lizzie and the house maid Maggie was at home. Maggie was cleaning the windows outside the house and Lizzie Borden was said to be out organizing fishing supplies in the family barn when the murder happened. When Lizzie came into the house, she reported the murder. After a few days of discovery, soon the thirty-two-year-old Lizzie was accused and then acquitted of the crime after a 13-day trial, she was claimed guilty of the murder.

 

The main theme I discovered in this book is: “To base ur judgement on factual evidence, don’t be biased towards others because of their action.”

 

Two reasons why you should DEFINITELY read this book are:

Firstly, this book is very detailed, the author states out a ton of evidence supporting both sides, whether Lizzie was the murder or not. The author provides a ton of evidence and a cliff hanger, which makes you to think and makes you curious about what the truth is.

Secondly, this book is sooooo interesting? When you’re reading it, it feels like that you’re going through a maze! At first you get more information about why Lizzie deserves to go to jail, but as you read on, you experience more evidence of why Lizzie should be innocent. This book is really amazing, and trust me, you’ll never get bored while reading this book
