The worst monsters are always human. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Narrated by Scott Brick Audiobook Released by January 2006, 15+ Hours Amazon ♦ Goodreads On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence. My Thoughts: This does not read like a true crime novel. It almost reads like a historical fiction novel but unfortunately all of the horrible events that take place happened. I recommend having something light and fluffy nearby to read when you'...
I've read a book by Poppy Z. Brite before. I love those covers.
