Book Reviews of In Cold Blood
Book Review: The first 'faction' crime novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe no-one has reviewed this book online before! I have an almost first edition that I have re-read many times. This was one of the first books (if not THE first) to take a true life case and 'factionalise'it with dialogue and scene setting that only people present at the crime scene can have known. It is a truly brilliant book (although the prose style is now a little old fashioned) and, I believe, one of Truman Capote's best works. (Rumour has it Mr Capote had a death row affair with one of the murderers, hence the realism of his input on the case).
