The Kingdoms of Savannah by George Dawes Green (review)
It begins quietly on a balmy Southern night as some locals gather at Bo Peep’s, one of the town’s favorite watering holes. Within an hour, however, a man will be murdered and his companion will be “disappeared.” An unlikely detective, Morgana Musgrove, doyenne of Savannah society, is called upon to unravel the mystery of these crimes. Morgana is an imperious, demanding, and conniving woman, whose four grown children are weary of her schemes. But one by one she inveigles them into helping with her investigation, and soon the family uncovers some terrifying truths—truths that will rock Savannah’s power structure to its core.
Moving from the homeless encampments that ring the city to the stately homes of Savannah’s elite, Green’s novel brilliantly depicts the underbelly of a city with a dark history and the strangely mesmerizing dysfunction of a complex family.
My Thought
This book is a literary suspense book and yes I don’t usually read this kind of story but it did sound interesting enough for me to pick it up.
The Kingdoms of Savannah is very atmospheric and it is suspenseful. I found it a little slow at first but it does have some twists.
All in all I did enjoy this book and yes I do recommend this one.
I give this 4 out of 5.
