Perhaps my expectations were a bit too high, but this was just okay for me. I think some of it had to do with not liking the narrator's different voices and accents for people.
This is one I'd suggest the physical book over the audio.

I'm looking forward to starting this audiobook with its #RedandWhite cover. I loved In Cold Blood and this book uses that true story to deal with a few what-ifs in regards to the crime.
My #bookspin #doublespin for July. This is a story set in Kansas at the time the Clutters were murdered. Their story was made famous by Truman Capote‘s riveting book In Cold Blood. No Saints in Kansas is about the daughter of one of the accused‘s Defense attorneys. It‘s fiction, written for a YA audience and pales in comparison to Capote‘s book. @TheAromaofBooks
pickLOVE this book. Had a really hard time putting it down.
😍😍😍😍😍 I can't put it down! #kansas #midwestisbest #nosaintshere
panI did not read “In Cold Blood” so I don‘t have anything to base this around. Capote has a bit part in the book, and I wasn‘t much of a fan. It wasn‘t really a mystery to me in the typical sense and the main character felt kind of useless to me in the way that she didn‘t have a lot of depth and the story didn‘t really flow or have a coherent pattern.
I'm loving this YA novel that is centered around the Clutter family murders that Truman Capote wrote about in his book In Cold Blood.
What I did love about this book was how many small SWK towns are named. I read most of the book before I ran across this, my hometown's solo mention. The MC enjoyed her trip to the store, so I was happy. It's fun to see the little towns I grew up traveling to for school activities in print!
pan#NetGalley ARC: I really wanted to like this. I grew up 15 miles from the Clutter house (see my favorite part of the book in the next post). I enjoyed how the vernacular was clearly SW Kansas, but the underdeveloped characters stopped me from loving it. Also, the MC is constantly making very childish choices and is treated like a much younger child than she is. Even though she is meant to be in high school, I couldn't help but picture her as 10.
I'm so ready for this YA retelling of one of my favorite books, IN COLD BLOOD. Please be good 🤞🏻
