Coffee And Cake: The Murder Of Babette Martin

Improved Essays
We’d been planning it for months, a weekend getaway just for the ladies of Coffee and Cake, an online social group of women that had come to form a very strong bond over the years. Thirteen of us, that is, until one of us died on night one of our trip.

Secrets are revealed, suspicions are levelled, and accusations are made. Can an online group of women really be true friends or is it all just a lie they have spent an age imagining?

    The story of Logan Marr and her murder is a sad story that should be taught to all child protective service workers and social workers everywhere so the same mistakes are not repeated. However, when establishing who is at fault for Logan's death in this case I think everyone is partially at fault.

    Lizzie Borden was acquitted from the murder case of her father and step mother, this left the case an unsolved mystery for almost one hundred and twenty four years.
