⭐⭐ In Cold Blood by Capote

Full Title In Cold Blood
Authors Truman Capote
Year Published 1994
Date Read August 08, 2024
Rating 2/5 stars

Got through about 40%. The lead-up to the actual murder was interesting enough, but then Capote really struggles to weave a compelling narrative afterwards. 3 hours of listening post-murder and zero progress is made on the investigation save for one small detail.

Maybe In Cold Blood is a victim of its success, as with many genre-defining books: the genre itself has advanced significantly since the first attempts, and so expectations for contemporary readers are far higher.

Don’t recommend.
