In Cold Blood

I had really high expectations for this because of its classic-ness. In some ways, it was met - the writing was really excellent and impressive. But the actual plot, the story of the crime, was suuuuuch a let down. I expected (and tbh, wanted) something more sensational, intense, mysterious, confounding, etc. It ended up being very straightforward and left me wondering why Capote wrote about it in the first place.
