The real stand out content of the novel is the way that nature and its inhabitants are described with such detail, and such reverence. Delia Owens truly captures the beauty of the environment, and creates a love letter to the southeastern coast.
The main character, Kya, is a protagonist you can root for, weep with, relate to, and cherish.
The mystery itself is one that will keep you guessing and puzzling until the very end.
I did feel that the novel had a bit of a slow start, but the exposition is useful later on in the overall storytelling and world building that occurs. Once I hit my stride, I could not put it down!!
