A review by emileereadsbooks
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

4.0

Reading more like a fiction novel than a nonfiction true crime tale, this book tells the story of one of Savannah's most polarizing residents and the events that made him that way. I read this book just after my trip to Savannah where I toured the house this murder took place in and I enjoyed how it immediately took me back to the sights, sounds, and smells of that great city. Brimming with fascinating characters and interesting situations, this book will have you intrigued  from cover to cover.
