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.
