Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

5.0

Sometimes the most popular literature doesn't live up to its promise, and sometimes you finish and realize, "Oh, that's why it's the most purchased book of 2019..." I am obsessed with the weaving of Kya's narrative within a murder case as well as Owens' crafting of characters and relationships. The setting, the marsh, is included so beautifully that it becomes another character in the book, and just like the real world, the natural references in WTCS will tell you more than you needed to know if you are paying attention. Wonderful writing, a story that sticks with you.
