Lizbeth of Maplecroft: Confessions of Lizzie Borden Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
At her beloved Maplecroft, with the signs of death rattling in her breast, Lizbeth “Lizzie” Borden asks to speak with her dearest friend. There are things she must get off her chest before she departs this world.

Thirty-five years earlier the nation was gripped by the notorious Borden Axe Murders - brutally savage, committed in broad daylight in an occupied house, while leaving no conclusive evidence linking to the killer or a motive. It was a crime of intense passion fueled by either hatred or love…or perhaps, both.

Explore the cold edges of humanity as Lizbeth relives that intense time period of her life.

Will Lizzie’s deathbed confession reveal a loving daughter burdened with remorse or a coldblooded murderess?

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Lucretia Stanhope is a relentlessly optimistic crone who refuses to let her growing collection of rare illnesses steal her sparkle. She prefers to think of herself as medically fascinating as opposed to disabled. Seriously, half of these diseases sound less realistic than her most fanciful novels.

    Powered by the support of an amazing husband and family, when she isn’t cuddling with her rescue chi-mixes, Thor and Moxie, she spends her days in creative pursuits that range from drawing and painting to crochet and writing.

    This is the landing page for all the pen names that include solo and collaborative novels. Please note genres and content advisories as these novels range from YA friendly, to adult only romances and graphic horror, with a touch of everything in between.

5.0 out of 5 stars After all these yeas.

After all these years, it's still one of those footnotes of history that chill the blood yet seem to lead to more questions than answers. What happened in that house? Why? A well written book and an easy read based on one of the more compelling crimes of that era.

Enjoyed the author’s take on Lizzie’s thought process and actions. I think the inclusion of the young male admirer was a total waste of input. Story would have been stronger — in my opinion — if it was just Lizzie remembering as she neared death.

4.0 out of 5 stars haunting take on chilling murders
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022

Such an original piece of writing. The author takes you inside the mind of Lizzie Borden as she ponders and then executes the chilling murder of her stepmother and father. This is a truly dark and riveting story that reads like a documentary. If you were ever intrigued by the mysterious and horrible story of Lizzie Borden, this is a book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020
Lately i have been reading Liz B books that get things all wrong or make up impossible situations if it is a fiction book.
This one stays true to possibility and delves into her thoughts and why she did what she did --- at least in this book, the supposition is that she did it herself.
I can recite a lot of the true events backwards and forwards and found everything plausible - and found myself zipping through to see what happens next -- even tho i knew what happened next -- so THAT tells you that someone as familiar with Liz B as i am could be made to turn pages (well flip pages on a Kindle) that I thought it was very well done. (A good friend of mine has written one of the factual Liz B books and i can tell that this author has read that book from some of the details mentioned.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Creepy
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022
This is maybe my 3rd book on the Borden murders, true crime is not really to my taste, but this particular crime continues to fascinate me. When I saw the title of this book, I read it because I thought it would give me some insight on Lizzies life post trial as she and her sister bought Maplecroft together , a quite substantial house, and quite a jump up from their former domicile. Alas, I was disappointed. This short (very short) book is a confession to a male (sort of) "friend" who she leaves her diary to on her deathbed. There is a plot twist at the end,- suffice it to say I found the "friend" a hell of a lot creepier than I ever found Lizzie. I always wondered why she never left Fall River rather than face the opprobrium of her neighbors and town. Was it "I'm not guilty so why should I move", or was it- I've got Maplecroft and the life I should have been living all along ,so who cares what others think". Innocent of the murders or sociopath, I guess we'll never know.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021

I really liked the way the author shifted between past and present. Lizzie is the most unreliable narrator but her interactions with her unnamed companions make her almost sympathetic. I found their chapters to be very tender and they left me wanting more. I wish this novella were longer.

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm being generous
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022

Not very interesting and a too desperate attempt at a different style. It has its own take on things and addresses the key subject of what went on in Lizzie's mind on the critical day -- mediumly credible, not particularly likely, a solution with too many flaws including how she thought she would get away with what was a calculated (according to this book) rather than a spontaneous event. Would she really be that self-sacrificial? Yes she got rid of Abby (who I don't think was the real problem anyway), killed Andrew in order to save him. killed most of Emma's family in order to make her happy, with the likelihood that she herself would go to the gallows which she only flukishly avoided.
Threaded with all kinds of inappropriate adjectives and verbs, I'm glad the book was short
