I am reviewing a copy of Deliberate Cruelty through Atria Books and Netgalley:
Ann Woodward shot her husband, banking heir Billy Woodward, in the middle of the night in 1955, changing her life forever Though she claimed she thought he was a prowler, few believed the woman who had risen from charismatic showgirl to popular socialite. Everyone had something to say about the scorching scandal afflicting one of the most rich and famous families of New York City, but no one was more obsessed with the tale than Truman Capote.
Truman Capote acclaimed for his best selling nonfiction book In Cold Blood, Capote was looking for new material and followed the scandal from beginning to end. Like Ann, he too had ascended from nobody to toast of the town, but he always felt like an outsider, even among the exclusive coterie of high society women who adored him.

I am reviewing a copy of Deliberate Cruelty five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
