The Borden murders by Sarah Miller

 "Elizabeth Borden took an axe..." This is a great book covering one of the most sensational murders in history.  It takes us from the crime to the trial and the aftermath with wonderful, often gory, descriptions.  Miller brings in newer information that has been uncovered since the crime in 1882, which seem to support further the finding of the jury.  The author is not the least boring and "textbook like" in her handling of the narrative, and it reads more like a historical novel.  Loved it.
