The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century (by Sarah Miller)

Category is: a YA nonfiction book. This didn't feel specifically young adult to me, it simply struck me (no pun intended) as a very readable account of the Borden murders and the evidence both for and against Lizzie's guilt. I keep going back and forth but my current theory is that she and the maid were in on it together somehow. Otherwise how could it even have been done?

Anyway, made me want to go back to the Borden house. (I was there 13 years ago and took this picture.) Definitely a fascinating crime, and a gripping read.
