I believe Lizzie and Emma, in cohort with John Morse, hired a man who wasn't from Fall River to do it.

Who do you believe did it?

Fall River is the place to be,
city living is the life for me.
Bought a nicer house,
so big and wide!
Forget 92 Second Street,
that's where I was charged with homicide!

OK, when will your book be published and available in the Public Library?

Publishing a book is the first hurdle. those w/ money can do it, no problem.
Libraries use professionals (Kirkus Reviews) to separate the dross from the good stuff. They won't spend public money on scrap. You can look up the Kirkus Reviews for more information.

An opinion without facts is just prejudice, or emotional excess. IMO

You missed my favorite explanation: it was a murder-suicide. Abby bashed in Andrew's head, then went back in time to whack her own.

Or else Jack the Ripper did it.

I think that Emma might have planned it and tried to make it look like Lizzie did it. I am letting my imagination run with me here.

Okay, who else thinks it was a murder-suicide?

Or Jack The Ripper?

I voted for Lizzie. I think Emma knew Lizzie did it. She may have even known before hand what Lizzie was going to do. The reason I'm sticking with Lizzie is so far I haven't really been convinced of anyone else having a motive. Especially in regard to Abby. Who hated Abby so much that they would slaughter her in cold blood? Nineteen times a hatchet was slammed into the head of an old woman who didn't have an enemy in the world. Except for Lizzie and Emma.
