A reissue of the Atlantic Monthly Press edition (New York, 2017).
Summary
When her father and stepmother are found brutally murdered on a summer morning in 1892, Lizzie Borden -- thirty-two years old and still living at home -- immediately becomes a suspect. But after a notorious trial, she is found innocent, and no one is ever convicted of the crime. Meanwhile, others in the claustrophobic Borden household have their own motives and their own stories to tell: Lizzie's unmarried older sister, a put-upon Irish housemaid, and a boy hired by Lizzie's uncle to take care of a problem.
