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. ![]() John Berendt’s sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction.

Her one preoccupation was her garden, in particular her cherry orchard, and she harassed Belim to help out.īetween gardening stints, Belim began inquiries about Nikodim. But whenever she was asked about the past, she shrugged it off: “Now we must think about the future.” She avoided mention of the current war, too, except to complain that it had pushed up food prices.

And now she had a reason to go back: not just to visit her grandmother Valentina but to discover the truth about Nikodim.

Hank becomes increasingly convinced that the murder is the work of a serial killer. Nicky works as a nightclub singer at the club where the murder took place. He’s especially interested in a witness, Nicky Sharp. Inspector Hank Brandt takes an interest in the case. The story begins when a male prostitute is found dead. I loved the idea of the 1896 setting, but in practice the setting made for depressing reading despite a happy ending for the lovers. ![]() ![]() Set during a heat wave in New York in 1896, it’s a romance between a closeted gay policeman and a gay nightclub performer.
