The Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara Robertson     Audiobook: 11hrs,, 47 mins    Hardback Book:  400 pages

Excellent book!  I had to make myself put it down to go to sleep while listening.   The facts and historical documentation is so detailed and takes into account the actual events, the facts on the case, the suppositions of many of the town folk, relatives and friends, the gossip, the court transcripts - this is such a fascinating read.   Cara Robertson brings the story of Lizzie Borden and her family to life for the reader/listener in such a way as you are mesmerized by what took place.   So much more comes out here than any one following case will have learned before it is like she is using a laser to cut through to the meat of what transpired.   Every new detail gives more depth to the people and what transpired and how it ended up the way it did.   There is so much to the event than has come to light before.    I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the case, to all amateur sleuths who will be introduced to so many new facts and testimony, to those who love murder myteries, to those who love true crime stories and to anyone looking for a pageturner that is gripping.   Caution this story will hold your interest so deeply you won't want to stop till you get to the end and may have to force yourself to stop for rest and sustenance.   Excellent!   Bravo Cara Robertson.
