Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a 'walking streak of sex'. These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed - and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired - in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.

A pageturner!
This book was teriffic, just as great as I expected and could not put down. Fun and factual at the same time.

Delicious Writing
This book is one of my all-time favorites which I read over and over and over. It is a story of a historic city and the quirky people who keep it going. Berendt goes to Savannah to write about a rich man's party and stays to investigate further when the gentleman murders his boyfriend house guest. It is a fascinating read made even better by a well-made movie which brings the real-life characters into sharper focus. Voodoo, cotillans, mint juleps and a transvestite--it is Southern living at its best.
