This is the debut novel from Melbourne writer Sarah Schmidt. It is a fictionalized account of the infamous true crime story from 1892 – the Lizzie Borden case. For those who don’t know, Lizzie Borden was put on trial for the axe murders of her father and stepmother and was acquitted at the trial, despite being a) the only suspect and b) quite clearly off her rocker. Sarah Schmidt’s novel turns that story into a dark and gritty non-linear novel, expertly paced and plotted to keep you intrigued the whole way through.
