In this exhilarating account of a real-life murder case, one is captivated by not only the fates of the people involved, but by the writing.  Capote exhibited some of his finest writing in composing this book, made from first and second hand interviews with the persons involved.  He takes the reader step-by-step, each horrifying and thrilling moment to the next.  From the brutal murder itself, to the background of each person involved, one  is forced to continue reading, if only to find out the ending to such an episode of American history.
