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.

    A book you can't put down!

    I am so addicted to this book! After getting a little history about the author and seeing a documentary about him writing the book, I couldn't wait to read it. I do not want to put it down. I am over 3/4 of the way finished and am anticipating the end. Anyone with an obsession with Truman Capote's life would enjoy this book too.
