Publisher's summary

Truman Capote’s best-selling book In Cold Blood has captivated worldwide audiences for over 50 years. It is a gripping story about the consequences of a trivial robbery gone terribly wrong in a remote village of western Kansas. But what if robbery was not the motive at all but something more sinister? And why would the Kansas Bureau of Investigation press the attorney general to launch a ruthless four-year legal battle to prevent fresh details of the state’s most famous crime from being made public, so many years after the case had been solved?

Based on stunning new details discovered in the personal journals and archives of former KBI director Harold Nye - and corroborated by letters written by Richard Hickock, one of the killers on death row - And Every Word Is True meticulously lays out a vivid and startling new view of the investigation, one that will keep listeners on the edges of their seats as they pick up where Capote left off.

Even listeners new to the story will find themselves drawn into a spellbinding forensic investigation that sounds like a thriller, adding new perspectives to the classic tale of an iconic American crime. Sixty years after news of the 1959 Clutter murders took the world stage, And Every Word Is True pulls back the curtain for a suspenseful encore to the true story of In Cold Blood.

Perfect and Amazing

I had heard Mr McAvoy on a podcast and was intrigued. Amazing story. Amazing retelling of a story we thought we knew. Almost lost story. Thanks to Agent Nye and Ronald Nye for saving the info and Gary McAvoy for fighting for our right to learn. You have told the real story of the Clutter family murders. It’s all here. Thanks again.

Excellent Work!

Not just a story but new information, errors, and behavior unbecoming (and illegal?) of several law enforcement agencies. Sounds like the person who engineered or put into motion the events of that night has gotten away with murder and possibly helped cover up their involvement via political power and/or favors. Too bad we’ll never know the real truth.

Great work!

As a best selling author, journalist and radio show host I know how much of not only your time and work it takes to put together a book, but also the emotional drain throughout the years to get that book finished. It's work outside of the box, it's a true story of what happens to somebody that finds evidence after the case was finished and put to rest, so it's not polished or formulated like a lot of true crime books, that helps you feel for the writer enough to understand his motions. The read parts by Ronald Nye is a great added feature as you can hear the truth in his voice.

Facts, facts and more facts!

Subtitle: Money talks! This plain reading by the author was very suitable for the revelations given in this riotous exposition of the real story behind Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. The money? Won't do spoilers, but there's a lot of 'who paid whom for what' all over the place. I found this highly enjoyable!

THIS IS NOT NEW!!!

There is not one iota of new information in this book. This guy has somehow managed to publish a lengthy tome on absolutely nothing. Further, it is almost unbearable to listen to him read his own book. He is dry, dull, and monotone. Listening to this was grating and as much fun as sitting in a dentist's chair. What a waste of time and money!!!
