***Personal Review of The Murderer's  Maid by Erika Mailman*** I am a huge fan of historical fiction - and if you aren't sure what that is, basically it is a genre where the author weaves a fictional tale around historical events.  Such as this novel "The Murderer's Maid" by Erika Mailman.  She has done her homework on the Lizzie Borden case and the historical accuracy of the background and people are great.  I am kind of obsessed with the Lizzie Borden case myself, so when my friend asked if I wanted to read this and review it I didn't hesitate!  If you are not familiar with the Lizzie Borden case, then I would highly recommend you do a little research before reading this, because there are a lot of actual pieces from the case that pop up in the book.  Of course we all know Lizzie was not convicted of the crime but she was never considered innocent.  And Bridget, the maid in the Borden house at the time, most likely could have convicted Lizzie but she...
