Why someone’s heart suddenly stop without any reason?īut this is not the only trauma they need to deal with: their mother’s dear personal assistant Amber is having an affair with their father and now she seems like getting everything her mother had including her wealth, husband, jewelries including her wedding ring! They’ve been told that their mother’s heart has suddenly stopped, found lying on the beach. As Charlotte gets more depressed and sadder, Maddi gets more furious, impatient.

You can feel their inner screams throughout their perspectives. This is not modern retelling of Borden murders but this is a remarkable and interesting story about loss, grief, madness, dysfunctional family issues, estrangement with lots of mean girls and dislikable characters!Īctually only characters you can connect and feel sorry for Charlotte and Maddi. The book’s opening quote from Borden, references to Helter Skelter already picked my interest as a modern approach to the mind of a killer. Well,well, well since I attended the murder house tour in Salem/ Boston where Lizzie Borden’s poor dad and stepmother have been butchered ( probably by her even though she has gotten acquitted) for my documentary project I have truly scared and pulled the plug my entire work indefinitely! But my obsession about reading true crime stories and have a great need to see the events from the perspective of the killer never ended!
