Relation Conducive To Books Lizzie

Sorry, but it's just my opinion...
Very disappointed to be honest. Around one third of the book was interesting, maybe a bit less than that, but the remainder was either boring, written a tad poorly, or just simply annoying. I pushed through this because it was the story of Lizzie Borden and I couldn't just quit it, but I'm just glad this wasn't a book I spent money on. I definitely am sad about this book. The last 50 pages or so was the only reason I am giving this a 2/5 and not 1/5. The story and direction the author chose just didn't work for me. I recently read See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt and personally preferred that story of Lizzie much much more than this one. Just my opinion.


SPOILERS:
The rumor of Lizzie being a lesbian is something I was already aware of. While I have no problem with lesbians or these relationships being written about, I just didn't like that this was the basis of why Lizzie committed the murders in this story.

Crit Containing Books Lizzie

I just can't finish this one. I think 365 pages is plenty. If you don't have me wanting to read more by that point, then I have given it the old college try and I am permitted to dump the book and move on to something else. Just completely boring. No rhyme or reason to it, no drama, no suspense. Nothing remotely intriguing. It's amazing I got this far into the book...

One of the more memorable pulp fictions I read as a teenager and a great introduction to the legendary Lizzie Borden.

Very tedious. The courtroom scenes were just dull and complicated. I appreciate that the author is trying to bring in the courtroom transcripts to keep it as real as possible, but I think there is a reason people dont typically read courtroom transcripts. I found it repetitive and obnoxious. The European trip storyline was an interesting theory, but I think the lesbian theory is a little weak compared to some of the others that are out there. Meh, I finished it, but I dont think Id recommend it

Evan Hunter combines actual trial testimony from the Lizzie Borden murder trial in the late 1800s with an imagined earlier trip by Lizzie to Europe, to weave an "alternative" history explaining the axe murders. Worth the trip!

At times it felt like the author was trying to fit his research of the era into his narrative by including every small detail, however irrelevant.

One of the more memorable pulp fictions I read as a teenager and a great introduction to the legendary Lizzie Borden.

I am a huge fan of Ed McBain/Evan Hunter, so when I came across this gem, it was right after I visited the Lizzie Borden house/museum in Fall River, MA and was hungry for more. I couldn't wait to read it. And I was not disappointed! Hunter's version of the Lizzie Borden story is chilling and is a page turner. I believe the book was out of print for a while but is now easier to get. If you like true crime mysteries, this one is for you!
