About this listen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The most famous true crime novel of all time "chills the blood and exercises the intelligence" (The New York Review of Books)—and haunted its author long after he finished writing it.
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.
In one of the first non-fiction novels ever written, Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, generating 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.

Creative nonfiction at its best...!!!
With his clear and vivid descriptions Truman Capote not only immortalises the Clutters and all the things associated with them but also compels the reader to examine the complex mental states of the murderers whose grusome deeds have stunned us all.
Now had it not been for Scott Bric's rivetting narration I'd have not enjoyed this classic work for these days I don't get time to read anything in print.

Interesting; a little slow
The book is interesting and well researched. It is a little too slow in parts where Capote has focused on small elements that could have been passed over. The book could have been more crisp. Narration is clear and decent voice modulation. Overall this makes for a good one time listen/read.
