book review

In reading the book, "In cold blood," I find myself captured by Capote's writing. It skips around a little bit from the story of the two murderers and the story of the people whowere left behind in Holcomb, Kansas. In summary, the book follows the story of two men, Perry and Dick, as they commit the "perfect crime." Dick had received word from a "source" in prison that a family named the Clutters had $10,000 in a safe in heir home in kansas. Dick convinces Perry to join him on his journey to the clutter home where Mr. and Mrs. Clutter lived with their two youngest children, Nancy and Kenyon. When the two men arrive at the home late at night, they find that there is no safe in the room where it "should be"" They wake up the etire family, and finding no money, murder to family so ther are "no survivors." They then leave the state and go down to mexico where they stay until they have no money. Dick and Perry return to the states to replenish their money and it is during this return trip that the are caught.
