See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt
3.0

I, like so many of the population, am obsessed with true-crime. I don't know what it is about people being involved in the depths of depravity but cases like the Lizzie Borden murders just fascinate me. Although I have to be honest, Sarah Schmidt's reimagining of the events of the case just really fell flat for me. Lizzie herself is abhorrent and bizarre, and she read more like a teenager than a thirty-something-year-old, and that would have been fine if 1/4 of the book didn't leave you in her head. Add that to the fact that another 1/4, namely the Benjamin chapters, were just throw-away and unnecessary, and the constant references to rotting meat, people eating said-meat and throwing up that made my stomach (one that is affected by a litany of chronic conditions) roll; and then you end up with a rather unpleasant reading experience.
