Although it's a gay love story (not exactly my cup of tea)and a murder story--though not a mystery--(I don't read murder mysteries either--only read Edgar Wallace and some Agatha Christie as a teenager) it remains in my memory and the cover is embedded in my brain too.

I remember everything, the scene in the cemetery, the Lady Chablis.

I read it either in Philadelphia or in D.C., late 1990s or early 2000s.

Barendt's book on Murillo glass blowers does not come up to Midnight.

It's like Dominic Dunne-- 1997

Another City, Not My Own is a 1997 novel by Dominick Dunne. The roman à clef, subtitled A Novel in the Form of a Memoir, was inspired by Dunne's experiences in Los Angeles while covering the O.J. Simpson murder trial for Vanity Fair. The hardcover edition ( ISBN 0-609-60100-8) was released by Crown Publishers.

which I read about 10 years ago.

And then of course, theres' Truman Capote's In Cold Blood--which I first heard of in Burma in the 1970s and read also about 10 years ago--between jobs--and with a new job which required a lot of travel but with more flex time. (Thank you, NCGUB, The Burma Fund)

These 3 books are exceptional--read them--
