This short book tells the story of the upper-middle-class family of the Bordens, their demise and the court trial that mesmerized the nation. I liked the fact that the story was told in a straight-forward manner, without sensationalism. It is a very interesting story and I can see why so many people are still interested in this, more than 100 years later.
