In Cold Blood - Truman Capote

It's easy to see how Capote was sucked into the story of the murder of a family in rural Kansas. His telling of the story winds you in - he recreates the suspense of the investigators and the townspeople. You don't find out the details of the murder until they do, chronologically. An excellent read - ready for the movie!

Incidentally, I never realized he wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's until I read the back flap of the book.
