In Cold Blood

I have started the book "In cold blood" by Truman Capote. I am only a few chapters in so I am just getting my barrings on the book, but its eerie nature is already shining through. The book takes place in Holcomb, a small Kansas town and follows the murder mystery of Mr. Clutter who owns his own farm. I am slightly confused with beginning, but Truman Capote's description of the book create such vivid images that it puts shivers down my spine even though nothing bad has happened yet. You know something is about to happen, just not sure what yet.
