Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

Creative non-fiction, like "In Cold Blood", but I actually like this book much better. It lacks the narrative drive, but the characters are more memorable, and the author does a good job of capturing them. Rather than thinking of it as the story of the murder and the trials, it really more of a portrait of the city of Savannah, at least as seen through the eyes of the author.
