Hmm...This started amazingly well, and I felt the initial connection between them, though on further thought later on in the book it could have just been Austin being good at what he does. But nevertheless I was pulled into the book at the beginning and I loved how it progressed into more.

The thing I wasn't so keen on was how he carried on doing it with other people. It just didn't seem right to me. I understood why but no.

The epilogue perked my rating up a half star.

Based on true events about a multiple homicide in mid 20th century America, the book explores the reasons and the consequences of the event. The reader faces dilemma of being horrified and dispising the reasonless act of crime; pity to those left behind and lives lost as well as feeling simpathetic to the criminals and seeing their human side.
Capotes writing is brilliant. Nothing like his other famous work Breakfast at Tiffany's, but nonetheless no less breathtaking.
I recommend watching a movie Capote after reading to find out how the book came to be.
