A review by evaeyre
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

3.5

a really well written account of a murder and its killers — including their downfall. I quite enjoyed Capote’s prose, especially when he would describe nature, but my overall view of this book was soured by not only his pardoning of Perry Smith, but also the accounts in real life of his fabrication, lies, and embellishment within this writing — not to mention discrediting Harper Lee, who aided him a lot in the investigation!
