Bookclub Review
 
 

The book club raved about this book — what a classic! On every level, Capote excelled himself: from his chilling portrayal of the murderers’ personalities, to his vivid depiction of small-town America, and a courtroom drama that would make Perry Mason weep. Almost no negative comments were raised during the discussion. A high score of 4½ out of 5 was awarded.

If you are looking for a brilliant true crime story, we can certainly recommend this book to you.
