Product Information

THE LANDMARK NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * An enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city: "Elegant and wicked.... [This] might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime." -- The New York Times Book Review * 30th Anniversary Edition with a New Afterword by the Author. Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this true-crime book has become a modern classic.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime." - The New York Times Book Review, "Forceful, clear, gripping, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is the best nonfiction novel since In Cold Blood and a lot more entertaining, since Berendt's book has everything going for it--snobbism ruthless power, voodoo, local color, and a totally evil estheticism. I read it till dawn." --Edmund White "John Berendt has written a gorgeous and haunting blend of travel book and murder mystery. It is enchanting and disturbing and deeply atmospheric." --Michael Herr "John Berendt has the ability to make the truth read like an exciting novel. This book is original, funny, and bleak--and it beckons quite alluringly to armchair adventurers who are as curious about human nature as about the nature of certain places. I finished reading it convinced that Savannah, may be the greatest performance artist of our day." --Ann Beattie "All the old passions are on parade through New South Savannah in John Berendt's wickedly funny new book." --Richard Russo, "Elegant and wickedhellip;.Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evilmight be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime." -The New York Times Book Review

    Purchased a bulk amount of books and couldn’t be happier. Only thing I have to complain about is the barcode stickers that were placed on the spine of every single book—even the ones that were raw paper hardcovers which ripped off the title lettering on the books. Plastic based stickers would have been a better choice as they wouldn’t have ripped or left residue as much. Shipping was free media mail, and it did take 2 weeks to get to me, but I expected that.

  • Faction

    Truman Capote coined the word "faction," that is, writing fact in a style of fiction. His classic IN COLD BLOOD was testimony of this new literary form. Though John Berendt, author of MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL, may not be a disciple of Capote, he certainly adhered to that norm while writing 99 and 44/100ths fact in a book which has fictionesque qualities. Suspense, intrigue, guile, jealousy, and humor run throughout the book making for a delightful read. A surprise ending? Let the reader weigh in on that score.

  • A great story full,of fascinating characters. I bought the book as a used product so I did not expect it to be in pristine condition, but

    pages were wrinkled like somebody had read it in a hot bathtub.

    A interesting historical novel about Savannah GA. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a melancholy insight into the culture and history of this iconic Southern City. A must read for anyone planning a visit to Savannah.

  • You get what you pay for

    The novel is chatty and fun. Reading it seems to be a must before visiting Savannah. However, the cheap price was not worth it with missing pages for the whole section where the murder takes place. I have not finished it yet to see uf there is any other issue.
