A to Z ~ In Cold Blood

This year my A to Z theme harks back to 2012's theme, in which I listed an A-to-Z of books from my GoodReads "TBR" shelf. This year I want to revisit that list and report on which ones I've read, and what rating I gave them. Where the book hasn't been read, I'll mention other books starting with that letter I have read since 2012. ;)

Have you guys noticed I'm not having a very good run? That is, it's been a while since I featured a book in my main list I actually have read. But rest assured there are more books to follow that I have indeed read. :) Just wanted to assure you there WILL be more mini-reviews!

A-Z ... IN COLD BLOOD

For the A-Z challenge of 2012, I'm posting an A-Z list of books I want to read, inspired by my GoodReads "to read" list (which is rather long). We're up to I, and for my I book I've chosen...

In Cold Blood - Truman Capote

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. As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates 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.

Why do I want to read it? It's been recommended to me from various quarters, it's a bit of a classic, and I like the sound of the story (no, I don't mean I'm a huge fan of murder and mayhem...!).
