Truly the most massive book you could read on the subject of the Borden murders and it is great for that. A plethora of information and photos and if you let it, you can certainly soak yourself into the thing like a hot bath. But the rub is, you need to get past a certain amount of terrible editing and some awkward first person fictional narrative in the first 100 pages or so, as well as the occasional dip into the oddly written passage. This is not a professional book. Is it interesting? Yes. Is it well researched? Mostly. Is there new evidence? Maybe. The speculation is pretty convincing for the most part as well. And I just skipped the "haunting" part at the very end entirely. So, overall, if you prefer your Borden reads to be adept and well footnoted, you might want to go elsewhere. But if you want to submerge in this massive and somewhat entertaining read, then give it a shot. ( )
