Lizzie Borden
by Elizabeth Engstrom
Genre: Historical Mystery, Thriller



Did she do it?

A hundred years ago, it was the Trial of the Century. A young woman

stood accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in a

crime so heinous that it became a benchmark in human tragedy.

A hundred years later, the Lizzie Borden case still resounds in the

imagination. There are those who staunchly defend Lizzie’s

innocence while others vehemently declare that she did it, and that

the murder was justified.

In Elizabeth Engstrom’s brilliant novel, the dark psychology of the

Borden household is laid bare. Lizzie, her sister Emma and their

parents Andrew and Abby Borden, are sharply illuminated—as are the

paranoia and concealed hatred that secretly ruled the family.

Domestic violence and dysfunctional families are not inventions of

modern times.

“Every door in the Borden house is metaphorically locked, and each room holds

the terrible secrets of its occupant…Engstrom skillfully and subtly

builds a psychological plot, moving the reader inexorably toward the

anticipated savage denouement.” —Publishers Weekly

Elizabeth (Liz) Engstrom grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois (a Chicago suburb

where she lived with her father) and Kaysville, Utah (north of Salt

Lake City, where she lived with her mother). After graduating from

high school in Illinois, she ventured west in a serious search for

acceptable weather, eventually settling in Honolulu. She attended

college and worked as an advertising copywriter.

After eight years on Oahu, she moved to Maui, found a business partner and

opened an advertising agency. One husband, two children and five

years later, she sold the agency to her partner and had enough seed

money to try her hand at full time fiction writing, her lifelong

dream. With the help of her mentor, science fiction great Theodore

Sturgeon, When Darkness Loves Us was published.

Engstrom moved to Eugene, Oregon in 1986, where she lives with her husband Al

Cratty, the legendary muskie fisherman, and their Duck Tolling

Retriever, Jook. Liz holds a BA in English Literature and Creative

Writing and a Master of Arts in Applied Theology, both from

Marylhurst University. A recluse at heart, she still emerges into

public occasionally to speak at a writers conference, or to teach a

class on various aspects of writing the novel, essay, article or

short story. An avid knitter and gardener, she is on faculty at the

University of Phoenix and is always working on the next book.
