ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2019 BY Time, LitHub, Vulture, Glamour, O Magazine, Town and Country, Suspense Magazine, Inside HookNew York Times Best SellerCompelling . . . at once a truecrime thriller, courtroom drama, and miniature biography of Harper Lee. If To Kill a Mockingbird was one of your favorite books growing up, you should add Furious Hours to your reading list today. Southern LivingReverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwells murderer was acquittedthanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend.Sitting in the audience during the vigilantes trial was Harper Lee, who had traveled from New York City to her native Alabama with the idea of writing her own In Cold Blood, the truecrime classic she had helped her friend Truman Capote research seventeen years earlier. Lee spent a year in town reporting, and many more years working on her own version of the case.Now Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the countrys most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity.
