Savannah: quiet, sedate, sophisticated yet humble. Wanna bet? Benerdts non-fiction bestseller is at once a travelog; an article in Architectural Digest or Better Homes and Gardens; a précis of Southern history; a courtroom drama; a psychological study of the inhabitants; a murder mystery; a story of greed, corruption, political influence, and misconduct; and voodoo. It is plutocrat versus aristocrat. Yes, Savannah has it all. Well-written, entertaining, witty at times, serious at others; no holds barred, but not judgmental. Youll enjoy this romp through the dirty linen of a quiet, seemingly sedate city-by-the-sea.
