'Elegant and wicked ... Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 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 'The best non-fiction novel since IN COLD BLOOD and a lot more entertaining' -- Edmund White 'Enthralling' -- Robert Winder, Independent 'Berendt - and the reader - are in travel-writer heaven ... This is a book which leaves you amused, spooked and introduced to a new piece of America' -- Mark Lawson, Independent on Sunday 'Perfect storytelling - wildly funny, occasionally alarming and utterly enthralling' -- Moira Shearer, Daily Telegraph
