Review of 'In Cold Blood' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I don't know if this really was the first example of the new journalism, but it has a not quite objective quality that makes for an unusually riveting true crime story. I found the reading experience enhanced by whatever little familiarity I had with the author - mostly from his appearances on Dick Cavett in the 70s. I read the folio society edition.
