In Cold Blood

The book clubs' discussions for Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" were hot and heavy...so much to talk about. We discussed Capital Punishment, Good and Evil and Nature vs. Nurture...and then we got into the heavy stuff.
We agreed that it was Capote's finest and that he was able to weave a tale of murder without it (the tale) being sensational or prurient.
I had forgotten how good he was. His last decades of his life were not happy or productive. We wondered if the murders helped to bring his drug addiction out of control.
