Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil | John Berendt, Hardcover True Crime Classic

Description A Sublime and Seductive True Crime Classic Immerse yourself in the hauntingly beautiful city of Savannah, Georgia, with John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. This New York Times Bestseller is a modern classic of true crime and a masterfully written portrait of a captivating Southern city. The story revolves around a real-life shooting in Savannah’s grandest mansion in 1981, and the subsequent trials that captivated the nation for nearly a decade. Berendt brilliantly captures the atmosphere of this insular city where “eccentrics thrived” and “the ordinary became extraordinary”. This book is much more than a true crime novel; it is a rich travelogue populated by wonderfully eccentric real-life characters, including the enigmatic antiques dealer Jim Williams, the drag queen Chablis, and the root doctor Minerva. Often referred to as a “non-fiction novel” due to its cinematic style, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil offers a seductive and illuminating reading experience that is certain to become a modern classic.
