The Borden Murders

‘The Borden Murders’ is a realistic fiction book written by Sara Miller.

The story took place in the last 80s, in Fall River. August 4th, 1892, someone violently murdered Andrew Borden and his wife in their own house. The police assume Lizzie Borden, their daughter, as the murderer.

A creepy poem about Lizzie Borden began the story.

Lizzie Borden took an ax

and gave her mother forty whacks.

When she saw what she had done,

she gave her father forty-one.

Here is a quick summary of the book, also the central ideas and themes. This book is about the death of the Borden family and finding out the murderer.

This is one of the central ideas of the book: police should judge a person’s guilt by scientific evidence, not by reactions and emotions. The central idea is connected with the events in the story and details.

This is the cause and effect of the story. The main effect is Lizzie killed her parents, after reading the book I found out that everything is connected with each other, here is the graph I made to list all the causes of the main problem.

‘The Borden Murders’ is an eye-catching book, the mystery of the murder really grabbed my interest. I highly recommend this book to people who are interested in mystery fiction books.
