Where the crawdads sing

By Delia Owens

3 stars

I’m halfway through Where the Crawdads Sing, and it’s been an absorbing read. Kya’s story of loneliness and survival in the marsh is beautifully written, with the setting almost coming to life. The mystery around a local man’s death is intriguing, and I’m curious to see how it all ties together. Kya’s resilience keeps me invested, and the themes of nature and isolation are powerful. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
