1. What is the setting of the novel?

The setting of this book is set in a place called Savannah, Georgia. In Savannah there are a lot of very interesting diverse people. The plot revolves around the murder of a drug using; high school dropout named Danny Hansford. The murderer is a wealthy, mansion owning art dealer, named Jim Williams. The twist in the story is that they happen to be lovers. Jim Williams may have been a wealthy socialite who hosted the best Christmas parties, but he is not what southerners referred to as "old money". Williams grew up in a small town called Gordon, Georgia, a far cry from the elite of Savannah. He eventually built himself up as a respectful art dealer and moved into one of Savannah’s nicest houses, Mercer house, that was rumored to be the former home of the songwriter Johnny Mercer, and that Jacqueline Onassis supposedly offered to buy for two million. John Berendt, a writer from New York, got the urge to travel and set his sights on Savannah. He immersed himself in the town, got to know the people, and bought his first car to travel around in. He met some interesting people, including a drag queen named Lady Chablis, a man named Luther Driggers who has a long standing threat to poison everyone in Savannah through their water supply, and a lady who practices voodoo on the enemies of Jim Williams, there are a lot of other odd characters  in this story and Jim is elaborating who each person is and how they live.

2. Who is jim Williams?

Jim Williams is a rich antiques dealer and restorer, self-made man, art collector of  and owner of the Mercer House, one of the city of Savannah's most beautiful historic homes and the site of the Christmas party Savannah's social elite lived for (as a figure of speech) He is an homosexual who is in the closet. Well kind of in the closet. He is a lover of Danny Hansford. Which no one knows about which is what i mean by semi in the closet. I know we haven’t got this far in the book but i did a lot of research so that i could further understand it. Jim owns the house in which is rumored to use to be the house for famous musician Johnny Mercer, but in reality it was just built by an ancestor of Johnny Mercer. Jim throws two party’s that everyone looks forward to every year. The first party is for men and woman to attend that everyone wants to attend. The second party is said to be the one that no one wants to attend because it is male only and the men feel as if it’s too big of a testosterone fest. In the book so far he doesn’t seem to be too social with everyone in Savannah except when he has his party’s and he seems to have a close relationship with Danny. He’s always bailing him out of jail except for the one time he let Danny sit in there because he needed to sober up.
