Masterfully written, Capote details the discovery of the Clutter family, who were mercilessly executed in their home in Holcomb, Kansas, on November 14, 1959 by two ex-cons. Capote recounts these eyewitness testimonies in such a breathtakingly vivid, illustrative manner, and this groundbreaking novel would become the prototype for the nonfiction novel.
