The Forlorn Maggie: A Lizzie Borden, Girl Detective Mini-Mystery

By Richard Behrens

Introducing Miss Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts, a most excellent girl detective and the most remarkable young woman ever to take on the criminal underworld. Many years before her infamous arrest and trial for the murders of her father and stepmother, Lizzie Borden pursued a career as a private consulting detective as chronicled in this clever and imaginative series of short stories. Join Lizzie as she matches wits with the Forlorn Maggie in this wry tale of mystery set in a Victorian New England mill town. When Fiona Conway, the Forlorn Maggie, seeks revenge against Fleet Footed Fleet, the savage mastermind of the B.M.C. Durfee Mutiny, Lizzie Borden must summon all of her courage and confront her own dark secret. You have met Lizzie Borden before, but never like this!

Reviews for The Forlorn Maggie

[majesdane-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Nancy Drew meets Lizzie Borden. With loads and loads of self-awareness, tongue firmly in cheek. This was super cute and fun.
