Books like See what I have done by Sarah Schmidt
When Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother are found dead in 1892, thirty‑two‑year‑old Lizzie, still living at home, becomes the primary suspect. The sensational trial ends with her acquittal, and no one else is convicted, leaving the Borden household cloaked in unresolved mysteries.
The claustrophobic family dynamics reveal ulterior motives and hidden histories: the unmarried older sister, an Irish housemaid treated poorly, and a boy hired by the uncle to address an unknown problem. Each character’s story adds layers to the enigmatic legacy of the Borden household.
