The discovery of the brutal axe-murders of Andrew and Abby Borden under their own roof in Fall River, Massachusetts paralyzes the small community. No one can understand why anyone would want to harm the respected Bordens. But secret witnesses to the crime have a different tale to tell—of a father with an explosive temper; a spiteful step-mother; and two spinster sisters, with a bond even stronger than blood, desperate for their independence.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the police search for clues, Emma comforts an increasingly distraught Lizzie whose memories flash in scattered fragments. Had she been in the barn or the pear arbor to escape the stifling heat of the house? Before or after she last spoke to her stepmother? Were they really gone and would everything be better now?  Through the overlapping perspectives of the unreliable Lizzie, her older sister Emma, the housemaid Bridget, and the enigmatic stranger Benjamin, we return to what happened on that fateful day.","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078228263152,"sku":"9780802189134","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802189134_p0.jpg?v=1769906938","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802189134","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
