What Members Thought
A compelling read.
Capote recounts the senseless murder of the Clutter family and its devastating effect on their small community. The tale is told with incredible empathy for the victims and a startling understanding of the perpetrators who invoke both sympathy and revulsion simultaneously.
A truly brilliant piece of writing.

Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe I just misunderstood the genre. Whichever the case, I was utterly disappointed in In Cold Blood.
