informative slow-paced

Similar to Devil in the White City in that it is more about a place during a specific time and the true crime aspect is a secondary aspect. Extremely interesting cast of characters.

This was an interesting look into life in Savannah, but it was honestly a bit of a slog.

This was interesting book. This felt like a novel at times. Sometimes I had to remind myself that the people in the book were not made up characters, but real people.

Not a “fast-paced” read. It’s one you’ll want to sit with to truly appreciate the characters and atmosphere of Savannah. I loved it.

It was just SO SLOW. Also, the random drop of a racial slur with no explanation by one of the characters was the final straw unfortunately

This is the book that I will forever think of when someone says "it has a real cast of characters". All of them were so different and such a hoot! Sorry to look lightly on a tale of death, but the author really wrote it in more of a lighthearted way.
