Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden of Mystery It was perhaps half an hour later when, having had more than enough of the casino, he went out into the night. Moon and stars gleamed from a cloudless sky. It was cool but beautiful. Buttoning his coat about his neck, he walked briskly from terrace to terrace, up and down, to and fro. The moon was almost at the full The sea was like a silver lake. Only the faintest breeze was stirring. A yacht, blazing with illumina tions, stood out like a thing of beauty. It was so still that voices, music, laughter travelled to him from its deck across the water. He knew what the yacht was, and the meaning of the blaze of glory. The boat, the Hoosier, was the property of Mrs. Van Volst, the widow of a notorious rather than famous American multi-millionaire. She was giving a dinner on board, to be followed by a dance. Had he chosen Philip Ford might have been among the guests. Now as he stood there, solitary, listening, watching, be rather wished that he had consented to join the revels later. He would have at least been free to follow his mood. The sight and the sound seemed to accentuate his feeling of solitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Villa Mystery The train that should have reached Mordenholme at six in the afternoon was more than two hours late. Thirty miles out from London an accident to the locomotive had brought it to a standstill, and made the rest of the journey, when it was at last resumed, a mere funeral march. Fortunately there were very few passengers in the train to chafe at the delay. At Mordenholme only one person alighted, a girl of eighteen, dressed in deep black. She looked about her with the air of one who sees a new place under unexpected and disconcerting conditions. Night was closing in rapidly. A note of timid anxiety betrayed itself in her pretty voice as she inquired of the porter, who took the half of a return ticket from her, about the trains back to town. There was only one, at five minutes past ten, the man told her, and she glanced at the station clock. It was now nearly half-past eight.

Download or read book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . 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 Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manse Garden Whatever might be needful by way of intro duction will be found interspersed with the work; but in the mean time the Author's appellative given in the title page of this volume is such as to demand some apology. Why does he take the refuge of a common family name, instead of giving his proper designation at once? In his own defence, he begs honestly to declare he has no liking to that sort of mystery, nor is he wont to use it, never having before given any thing to the public without sending along with it whatever good or ill it might derive from his name.
