Where The Crawdads Sing

by Delia Owens

paperback, 2022, good condition

Starting a story with a body is always a good way to lure the reader in. And when the body of handsome Chase Andrews is discovered in a North Carolina swamp, suspicions immediately turn to the 'Marsh Girl' - Kya. Part murder mystery, part of coming of age and part a homage to nature. Great holiday reading - and the book came way before the movie!
