For years I had seen this book on every “best true crime books” list and I finally got around to reading it. It is different than most true crime books nowadays, in that it is more about the personality of the city of Savannah and its unique culture and eccentric characters than it is about a murder. It is quite engrossing and I, like so many others who have read the book, was charmed by the idea of the city and would like to visit if I got the chance.
