This book covers the murders of the Clutter Family. Herb Clutter was a farmer in Kansas. He was married to Bonnie, and they had four children. Two of his daughters, Beverly and Eveanna, had reached adulthood and moved out by the time the murders occured. Two children, Nancy and Kenyon, remained in the home. In the wee hours of November 15, 1959, the entire family was murdered in their home. The murders were pinned onto two escaped convicts, and this book outlines what their motive was and how they found this family.

I thought the book was really quite good, and I can see why it is considered a true crime classic. I thought it was interesting that Truman Capote was friends with Harper Lee and they took a trip to Kansas together to do research about these murders. It was well written, and you can tell he did a decent amount of research on this crime. I can't remember who suggested this book to me, but whoever it was, thanks.
