She was vibrant and so real she almost stepped off the page. I thought some of the characters were fun. I think I might have read this year’s ago as the books seems familiar but I have no memory of actually reading it. ![]() I chose to read this for the ‘a book with antonyms in the title’ category for my Popsugar Reading Challenge. I love the title and I find the creepy statue on the front cover fascinating. This book is based on the real-life murder of Danny Hansford, a male prostate by antiques dealer Jim Williams in the 1980’s. The novel uses real events as a catalyst similar to Truman Capote’s In Cold Bloodthat I read recently. He was tall, about fifty, with darkly handsome, almost sinister features: a neatly trimmed moustache, hair turning silver at the temples, and eyes so black they were like the tinted windows of a sleek limousine – he could see out, but you couldn’t see in. I borrowed this ebook from my library and read it on my Kobo. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt ![]()
