120 Years Ago, Someone Took An Axe . . . .

Miss Lizzie
But was it Miss Lizzie?  Years later she's an amateur sleuth in this great book.


Miss Lizzie: Walter Satterthwait: Amazon.com: Kindle Store: A girl’s stepmother is murdered, and only Lizzie Borden can find the killer During the summer of 1921, a strange spinster rents the seaside cottage next door to Amanda Burton and her family. The new neighbor dresses in black, does card tricks, and reminisces about a long-ago trip to Paris. Her name is Lizzie Borden, and two decades earlier she was acquitted of one of the most notorious crimes in American history. Although her stepmother warns her to stay away, Amanda has no patience for her father’s doughy wife, and befriends their infamous neighbor. When tragedy strikes the seaside town, Miss Lizzie is the only one who can help.
