for some reason i loved the first part a lot more than the second part. i was really fascinated by all of these eccentric people and the atmosphere that was effortlessly transcribed by the author. the murder case was also fun to read about and everything tied up nicely in the end but i kinda just lost interest as the book went on idk

4.5. A love letter to Savannah, Georgia with a host of eccentric misfit characters. While murder and scandal were themes that jumped off the pages. This was not a gory true crime non fiction but a narrative non fiction , that was as much about the history of Savannah and the incredible characters of its inhabitants. While some of the residents had questionable intentions and morals they certainly made fascinating characters to put in a book!

I do not like historical books but I have this one a try but I couldn’t get into his writing.

I hated everyone in the book and just couldn't go on. Plus the low-key "ewww a MAN wearing MAKEUP?!" 90s bullshit was just a little too much for me.
