Journalist John Berendt tells the story of the murder and court case of Danny Hansford through the larger than life characters that occupy Savannah, Georgia. From squatting lawyers to men who keep flies on a string, this book covers the eccentricity of society in Savannah. After spending time with known 'bachelor' Jim Williams, Berendt writes about the ups and downs during the time period of Hansford's murder at Mercer House. Our top book of the year had characters so large, we forgot there was a court case involved.Amazon link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Garden-Good-Evil-Savannah/dp/0679751521/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wklVu5QH4arfkdycdS0CoxJw3KhQiUv8jeOdIvbWyQYCM0vXfPURD4tKBCBDYUz086k7GDHCyKj5BfC5-bR30xY1X77V30RzkUqMqyvoPnMZXRzCwySiYmMXeZAdjr5ZsxirL5Uq50-L7ITd1UYl0cQE38bBU85VhmCsMJzOg3xb-H7Z3EU0gJg8PlCD7qikesTzZ1SYQrdIYPbbNJJfNxpJVdxYYEdGSuy6nvh3Lsc.l-phUSbz8ZtwRAWQsFZngFhAiXt2HrFoVXOw_4eaKhk&qid=1738206913&sr=8-1Abe Books link to the book: https://www.abebooks.com/Midnight-Garden-Good-Evil-Berendt-John/32109843288/bd Hosted on Acast.
