The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.
In a compelling, linear narrative, Miller takes readers along as she investigates a brutal crime: the August 4, 1892, murders of wealthy and prominent Andrew and Abby Borden. The accused? Mild-mannered and highly respected Lizzie Borden, daughter of Andrew and stepdaughter of Abby. Most of what is known about Lizzies arrest and subsequent trial (and acquittal) comes from sensationalized newspaper reports; as Miller sorts fact from fiction, and as a legal battle gets under way, a gripping portrait of a woman and a town emerges.
With inserts featuring period photos and newspaper clippingsand, yes, images from the murder scenereaders will devour this nonfiction book that reads like fiction.

Careful readers will notice that some police officers ranks vary from one point in this book to another. A number of policemen were promoted during the course of the Borden investigation and trial, such as William Medley, who was a patrolman in 1892 but had been awarded the rank of inspector by the time of the trial in 1893. The apparent inconsistencies in the text reflect these promotions.
Also, standards of spelling and punctuation were more idiosyncratic in the 1890s than they are today. For instance, clue was commonly spelled clew in the newspapers. Spellings in transcripts often differ from one court proceeding to the next, depending on who did the recording. (At the inquest, stenographer Annie White recorded, O, Mrs. Churchill, do come over, somebody has killed Father, while at the trial, stenographer Frank Burt rendered the same sentence as Oh, Mrs. Churchill, do come over; somebody has killed father.) Quotations from court documents and newspapers retain the spelling and punctuation of the original source material.
