Voodoo. Decadent socialites packing Lugars. Cotillions. With towns like Savannah, Georgia, who needs Fellini? Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil takes two narrative strands--each worthy of its own book--and weaves them together to make a single fascinating tale. The first is author John Berendt's loving depiction of the characters and rascals that prowled Savannah in the eight years it was his home-away-from-home. "Eccentrics thrive in Savannah," he writes, and proves the point by introducing Luther Diggers, a thwarted inventor who just might be plotting to poison the town's water supply; Joe Odom, a jovial jackleg lawyer and squatter nonpareil; and, most memorably, the Lady Chablis, whom you really should meet for yourself. Then, on May 2, 1981, the book's second story line commences, when Jim Williams, a wealthy antique dealer and Savannah's host with the most, kills his "friend" Danny Hansford. (If those quotes make you suspect something, you should.) Was it self-defense, as Williams claimed--or murder? The book sketches four separate trials, during which the dark side of this genteel party town is well and truly plumbed.
Product Description:
An engrossing, brilliantly reported story of life and murder in gracious Old-South Savannah, Georgia, drawn from acutal events. 2 cassettes.

- Amazing book
I read this before I went to Savanah, GA and I am so glad I did it made the trip so enjoyable, and I would also recommend the movie.
Rating:
- Read the book.
Read the book and/or watch the very underrated movie. The reading of the audio book is generally dull with the exceptions of his attempts to voice the black characters, like Chablis and Minerva, which are horrible. 'Ooooh Chiild'
Rating: - A must read if you are going to Savannah!
I did read this book a couple weeks before my husband and I went to Savannah and it really did add to the trip...we could really relate to what we were seeing and what I read about in the book. I highly recommend it!
Rating:
- Easily read page turner
I will admit, my reason for reading this book was based solely on the fact that I will be visiting Savannah in 2009 and judging by what I read online and was told by friends it seemed like a good idea if I had read the book before I went.
The book is well written and very easy to read, although with the numerous characters you do find yourself flicking back to remind yourself who is who.
You do get drawn very easily into the stories that unfold, and it's difficult to put ... Read More
Rating: - Read it & visit Savannah
I visited Savannah this summer & then read the book. I had seen the movie when it first came out & remembered that is was a good one, but I forgot so much of it. After touring the Mercer House & confusing several timelines, I borrowed my sister's book & could hardly put it down, and I am a seldom reader. I only read Non-fiction, but this book seems so full of interesting subjects, that it is more like reading fiction. If you like southern history or if you like The southern style that has all but ...
