Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

  When I go into a book based on its synopsis, and it sells me a terrifying story with ghosts, magic, and things that would chill anyone's blood, I expect this to be the main theme of the plot once I start it, but, in the case of “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” that wasn't the case.
I'm not saying that the story is bad, on the contrary, if I had gone into it knowing that it would be a book based on something real that happened in Savannah and that it would be about a murder that they are trying to defend, which also involves (AS A BONUS) magic and witchcraft, I think I would have liked it more, but instead, I started it when I was looking for something scary and that maybe has some ghosts, and I ended up bored and annoyed because I had already read 47% and nothing happened, so I paused it.
It was not until this year when I decided to pick it up again, that I started to enjoy it more by being aware of the story I was going into.
It's all based on a case of self-defense murder, or so the defendant's defense, Mr. Williams, calls it, towards a young man who already had a criminal record, and who seems to be, even after death, still tormenting him, so he will have to resort to “extra” help to be declared innocent. Whether he succeeds or not, I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to read the book to find out.
Of course, knowing that it is a slow-paced reading, especially at the beginning, but from the middle onwards it starts to get more interesting.
If you like crime readings, especially those based on true stories, with a little magic in between, this is your book.
