I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.


I loved this comic, I wish it was full color but it was very well done and fast paced.

This was a really interesting graphic novel that told the story of the Borden murders from the point of view of a young boy that lived next door. I think the art very much matched the tone of of the subject matter, but personally would have like more color. Overall, the story was really well done. True crime for the kiddos seems odd to me, but also.. I would have been invested when I was younger. I think they did a good job explaining the fervor that can happen around events like these.

Thanks to NetGalley, Jeramey Kraatz, and HarperCollins for the chance to read and review! My opinions are my own!

I’ve always been fascinated by the Lizzie Borden case so when I saw this graphic novel on Netgalley I knew I had to read it. I thought this graphic novel was super interesting and it made me want to do more research on the case again. The artwork was really good and I thought it matched the story well. I liked reading this one. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the arc in return for an honest review!

Growing up in New England, I already knew a lot about the story of Lizzie Borden going in. It’s been a mystery that fascinated me for a long time and I loved the angle and perspective this story approached it with. The illustrations were nice and the story read very quickly and fast paced. I think readers of many ages will really enjoy it.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for the e-arc of this book in excange of a review.

Well, I didn't know this was a real case, which was cool I guess, but I spent the entire time speculating who it actually could've been, only to find out that's the end. I was disappointed...
