In Cold Blood

Book 37 of my 2018 Reading Challenge

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote 

Summary (via the book jacket)
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 moments, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.

My Opinion
I felt sorry for both of the killers at different points in the book.  One was the mastermind and one did the killings - I agree with the assessment that neither one of them would've done this without the other one.

It was fascinating how small details, like the hours of operation for the post office, played such an integral role in dismantling their alibis.
