See What I Have Done Overview

Beginning with the discovery of the body of Andrew Borden, Schmidt’s novel follows the events surrounding the murders from four different perspectives: his daughters Lizzie and Emma, their maid Bridget, and the mysterious Benjamin. The unreliable narration and non-linear timeline add to the mystery of who killed Andrew and Abby Borden as Schmidt explores themes of family, class, sexism, and loyalty. Told with a chilling vividness, See What I Have Done is a wonderful marriage of a murder-mystery and a family drama.
