Miss Lizzie

Rating:
Summary: shocking ending to a compelling mystery
Review: An excellent fictionalized account of what happened to Lizzie Borden after the notorious trial. On one level, it's a bittersweet story of an unlikely friendship between a shunned old woman and a child, and, on another level, it's a compelling tale of a suspenseful summer. The sly ending will surprise you!

Whether you've read a lot about Lizzie Borden or nothing, you'll really like this finely crafted mystery.

Summary: Thank you!
Review: I've been looking for an affordable version of this book for YEARS. (Collectible copies of the original hardcovers go for up to $400.) Mr. Satterthwait tackles a century-old conundrum with imagination and humor. Did she or didn't she?

Summary: Great read!
Review: This book was extremely hard to put down! It is perfectly paced and made the characters come to life. Miss Borden was particularly well-defined; she came alive as a person, not just a figure in a dusty old murder trial.

I look forward to reading many more of Mr. Satterthwait's books.
