In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences

By: Truman Capote, January 1, 1965, Hardcover: 343 pages, Publisher: Random House; 1st edition (January 1, 1965), ASIN: B0017HK97E

November 15, 1959, Holcomb, Kansas, population ~183, four members of the Clutter family were dragged from their beds tied up, each shot in the head with a shotgun at close range, none survived. There’s an incredible amount of research and detail in this book regarding the events, people and impact on the people of Holcomb and the families of the killers. Capote’s skillful and artful writing imbrues on mind 1959 America and puts you into the middle of this heinous crime. I don’t usually read crime books, this one was on sale and glad I bought it. I consider this book an American classic and will read again for the treatment of the subject through the writing.
