In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a classic that I hadn’t read until now.
It is an account of the real-life murder of the Clutter family in 1959. The family of four was well-respected and liked in their small Kansas town. Their murders shocked the town and instigated a tireless search to apprehend the killers.
The book provides background on the two men responsible for their deaths. Events detail their eventual capture, trial and deaths.
It is a chilling story due to its reality. The murderers are two very different men who managed to connect during time in prison. They shared a desire for easy money and disregard for human lives.
