In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is the story of a murder that took place in Holcomb, Kansas in 1959. The victims were a man named Herbert Clutter, his wife and two of their children. Once Capote heard of the murder case he was intrigued to find out more so he traveled to Kansas and interviewed locals and people working on the case and gather enough notes to produce this book. Through his extensive research and first hand information collection dying the unraveling of this murder, he was also able to see what effects the case had on the community.
This book is greatly unlike anything that I have ever read before and when it was recommended to me I found it's topic very interesting. Although they can be eery and gruesome I love to watch murder mysteries or crime shows and this is a real life case of one so it caught my interest at first recommendation. From this book I hope to gain true insight into the process of solving a murder. I am well aware that most things on television are fabricated so I am interested to find out what really happened in a true life murder case.
