"The Fall River Tragedy: A History of the Borden Murders" by Edwin H. Porter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the notorious Borden murders, focusing on the brutal killings of Andrew and Abbie Borden, and the ensuing investigation that captured national attention. It chronicles the events leading up to the crime, the investigation, public reactions, and the trial of Lizzie Borden, who was accused but ultimately acquitted. At the start of the narrative, the reader is immersed in the shocking discovery of the double murder that took place in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. The bodies of Andrew and Abbie Borden are found brutally mutilated in their home, leaving the community in a state of disbelief and horror. Miss Lizzie Borden, the couple's daughter, becomes the focal point of suspicion as the police arrive to investigate. With conflicting testimonies and a lack of definitive evidence, the opening chapters set the stage for a gripping tale of murder, mystery, and the complexities of human behavior under extreme duress.

Reading ease score: 78.3 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
