In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

katie0528's review against another edition

dark sad slow-paced

3.75

A classic true crime novel about the mass murder of the Clutter family in Kansas in 1959. Capote details the family's last night alive up until the execution of their murderers. This reads much more like a journalistic piece, with interviews from everyone to the police to the townspeople to the killers themselves. The text can be a little dry at times but it's classic for any true crime fan
