I read IN COLD BLOOD in 1997. I was riveted and couldn't put it down. I'm not much of a true crime buff, but I was really engaged with the breadth and depth of this story, the authors attention to detail, as well as the cold calculated brutality that mark the story. Way better than the movie! This is a whole, start to finish story.

Released on Saturday, November 30, 2002 at Nokomis Beach coffee shop, 28th Ave. S. & 50th St. in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.

I came up for Thanksgiving and crashed on a couch in the Lake Nokomis neighborhood. Left this copy of In Cold Blood in the coffee shop, on my table, before I drove back to Chicago.

I found the book next to a table where I was enjoying a coffee and cookie with a friend after running around Lake Nokomis. I have read In Cold Blood many years ago and found it to be absolutely riveting. When I have finished the book, I'll take it on my next out of town trip and leave it somewhere where it can continue its journey.

Released on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 at Bonnie's by the Sea in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands USA.

Bonnie's is a wonderful bar/restaurant located at the Elysian Beach Resort on St Thomas. There is a book exchange shelf just around the corner which is maintained by locals, often with library and individual donations. My addition was snapped up within about 24 hours. Hopefully on a journey somewhere else. I also picked up a couple of books that I will release somewhere else once I get them registered.
