True crime fans will be fascinated by this fresh look into one of America‘s most notorious crimes. Here is a story that was very nearly lost to a shredder in Oklahoma when Harold Nye‘s wife emptied their home after his death. Nye was one of the lead agents who investigated the Clutter murders and who was befriended and interviewed by Truman Capote.

I listened to In Cold Blood on audio as it‘s been at least a decade since I‘ve read the book. While the accuracy of Capote‘s book has been called into question, In Cold Blood is still a masterwork. McAvoy‘s book, on the other hand, was disjointed and spent a good deal of the narrative reiterating the same two or three points from Harold Nye‘s notebooks. Skip McAvoy, read Capote.
In Cold Blood ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
