Paperback

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.

This is the only miss from Naked Sundays so far :(
I normally love naked Sundays. It’s my go to for face sunscreen especially. I’m not sure if I got a defective stick or something. It’s not expired or anything but I used it on a vacation and I got extremely burnt even with reapplying often. I just figured it was fluke thing maybe because it was winter and I was paler than normal. But we went on another vacation last week and my preteen daughter used it on her face and she ended up with a sunburn and rash. She’s never had a sunburn before as she has an olive skin tone. She ended up having to use an antihistamine medication for how bad her skin hurt and cool cloths. Like I said, I LOVE their other products so I’m wondering if I got a defective batch or something.

Works on dark hair, too and lasts for multiple dyes.
I got this because my nephew wanted to have red hair for a day. It works really well. Its super vibrant, even if you have darker colored hair, which is surprising. A little goes a long way, so you can dye your hair several times with just one bottle. It washes out very easily. One wash and its out. Also, it came out of a pillowcase pretty well when he played his head down on the pillow. You have to wait till it ia dry to touch it, or it does your hands a little, but it still does not stain skin.

Happy Halloween 2025
The dye is very pigmented which is a plus I just wished the instructions where more clear on how to apply the dye to your hair. I just regret applying the dye first to my hair and then fixing my hair up. When I passed the hair brush to fix my hair some paint came off. So I had to reapply the dye. Luckily I have a little bit of hair so I was able to have extra dye on the can. So if you're reading this. I recommend fixing up your hair first, pass the brush do what you got to do first. And then once you have your hair the way you want it. Spray the hair dye into your hair. It much easier and your hair doesn't get tangled. But other than that the hair dye was a good purchase for me because the value of it and the pigmentation it came with.
