Bought used for $4 in anticipation of “Capote” (which, readers of the SS Fun know, I’ve not seen yet) and read in just a few sittings. Exquisitely written and walking a fine line between fascinating and just a really good episode of “CSI.” Considering the newness of the form (was it really the first non-fiction novel, or is that just marketing?) I’ll jump on the bandwagon and say it is great. Certainly the last 50 pages are chilling. Man, I’ll never think of Holcomb, Garden City or Olathe, Kansas the same way again.
