Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil | John Berendt

pan

The facade of peaceful life in Savannah, GA is upturned when a prominent antiques dealer is tried 4 separate times in the shooting of his lover.

While this non-fiction novel did an excellent job at painting a gorgeous scene of a city stuck in the past & an intriguing recounting of a complicated case, I couldn‘t get past the feeling that Berendt really felt like he was better than the people around him.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I just read this last month and liked it. The author does hold himself aloof, but I didn‘t find him to be judgmental, personally. Give it a whirl! 1y

ChaoticMissAdventures This is on my list for November will be interesting I always am hearing mixed reviews of it 1y

5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella I will still give it a go, I‘ve really been trying to get to it forever, it‘s been haunting me 👻 1y

It has a lot of positive reviews, but sadly, it‘s not for me.

If you‘re interested as to why, I explain why better in my GR review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4500324885

rockpools I think that‘s fair. I absolutely loved it, but I listened on audio and suspect that made all the difference. 2y

wanderinglynn @rockpools yes, I can see how a good narrator could bring this to life. 2y
