Capote in Kansas

I love Truman Capote and I love (Nelle) Harper Lee. I love the idea of a book examining their relationship, especially during the time when they were in Kansas together researching "In Cold Blood". Kim Powers doesn't really do that in his book, however. It was kind of disappointing. Capote and Lee seemed flat and boring and I'm not sure he ever really got his point across. The blurb said it was a "ghost story" and it would examine the "truth" behind Lee and Capote's rift. It didn't, and the ghosts were unconvincing.
