Everyone knows "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," of course. But there don't seem to be a whole lot of other well-known books or movies set in Savannah. I did a search in my library system, and came up with these fiction books, plus a couple of movies. I haven't read or seen any of these, so I can't recommend them one way or the other, but thought it might be a good start on a list. (Actually, I might have seen "The Gingerbread Man," but I really don't remember it.)

Links are to Amazon, for more information:

AKA Jane by Maureen Tan

Savannah Purchase by Jane Aiken Hodge

Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews (There are also a couple of other books in this series.)

Richochet by Sandra Brown

The Morning After by Lisa Jackson

Savannah: Book 9 in the Civil War Series by James Reasoner

Delirium of the Brave by William C. Harris Jr.

Movies:
The Gingerbread Man

The Wishing Tree

Two books mentioned earlier by Ann (paceaj):

Savannah Style: Mystery and Manners

Savannah or a Gift for Mr. Lincoln by John Jakes

Great topic Roz! I can't add much to the book list right now, but here's a list of movies that might interest everyone. (Lots of ideas here of movies to add to your Netflix list.)

Movies set in Savannah

This is actually from the website of a company that does a Movie tour of Savannah.

I know it's not Savannah, but one of the best novels written about Georgia which includes a little bit about Savannah is, Gone with the Wind.

How about "Savannah" by Eugenia Price? It is the first book in her Savannah quartet. It begins in 1812; great historical fiction. I've actually got 14 of her books on my shelves. She wrote some terrific stories.

Sandra,

Is this novel something Craig would like. Every once in a while we get a book and take turns reading to each other. It would be fun to read a book about Savannah.
