“I once playfully challenged Ms. Fanning, a prolific true crime author with a detective's turn of mind, to write a fictional account of the trial of Lizzie Borden for a ferocious double domestic murder. She responded with Lizzie, masterfully blending historical details, intriguing suppositions and thrilling prose to breathe new life into the most infamous cold case in American history.”

“Master of true crime Diane Fanning reimagines in fictional form a case that continues to haunt us, Lizzie Borden. Part true crime and part storytelling, she ably explores the shifting relationship between sisters at the center of a scandalous double homicide.”
