Re repeated mentions of
In Cold Blood, that book is a
blend of fact and fiction. The author bragged about his doing interviews "
without taking notes or using tape-recordings." Most of what is in quotation marks is thus, at best, paraphrase, and charges of interviews being made up are plausible.
Based on past threads, I think the recommending posters know about the authorial misconduct claims and have every right to recommend the book anyway. However, Amiieey, and even though it's not a big item, I wouldn't want a future crime investigator to have a partly fictional knowledge base.
