Mercer House: Setting of the murder in Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil
I stayed here at the Eliza Thompson House. It’s a really neat B&B.
These pics are all from my visits to Savannah several years ago.

You will laugh & cry right along with her. She came from a very closeknit, but somewhat poor family, married at a very young age & had her 2 sons. Their story is really all about the American dream & what you can do if you put your heart & soul into something. Paula is a little bawdy, but downright lovable, admitting her failures & mistakes right out there for everyone to see. You can just see yourself sitting down & talking to her. Of course, as I was reading the book, I heard her voice saying all the words. That so-so Southern accent of hers is just contagious. I’d love to meet her one day! I wonder if any of you have been to her restaurant? If so, what’d you think??
A great beach book or summer read…hope you get to enjoy it too. I checked it out at the library & couldn’t put it down!
Happy Summer reading!

Hi Kim! Happy to find another Paula fan! I’ve been a fan of hers for several years. I also love, love Savannah. What a gorgeous place! We got to eat at Paula’s old restaurant and got to meet her and had our picture made with her. She was very gracious and just put us at ease. She went to several of the tables while we were there and sat and just talked to her customers. Oh yes…the food was absolutely amazing! You gotta go there!
I have this book but haven’t started it yet. Now I will. Found you through DC’s blog, I think.
Oh I love Paula also. She is such a hoot and fun lady. One day I hope I can go to one of her party’s. I have heard she is just the same in real life as on tv. Also I see my father’s church in the background of this pic. He was a Methodist Minister at Wesley Monumental Church. Hope to visit you a lot more. I have been checking your page and just joined this site and love it.
