A dash of murder mystery, a sprinkle of romance but mostly reads as a nature novel. Where the Crawdads Sing works best when the focus is on Kya’s life in the marsh and the beautiful descriptions of the life found within but, the reader will have to suspend their disbelief with just how a child survived this life alone.
