This is a disturbing yet gripping book, and without a doubt lives up to it's reputation as a modern classic. Having watched the biopic of Truman Capote earlier this year, which tells the story of how he researched and wrote this book, only increased my feelings of discomfort and horror whilst reading.
To keep it short and sweet the title In Cold Blood aptly describes the murders as well as the writer's attitude to these acts. It's well written but chilling.
