In Cold Blood is a 1966 book by American author Truman Capote detailing the brutal 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter,
a successful farmer from Holcomb, Kansas, his wife, and two
of their four children.
Readers know the outcome of In Cold Blood from the start,
yet Capote still manages to build suspense. More surprisingly, Capote creates
sympathy for the murderers while letting readers in on all the horrible details
of the crime. In Cold Blood is rightly a classic, but it may not appeal to
everyone. The content is difficult and the reading is dense. In Cold Blood will
make you think.
