Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

Title:  Where the Crawdads Sing

Author: Delia Owens

Review:

Set in 1969 in a small town on the North Carolina coast, Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya Clark, or - as the locals call her – “Marsh Girl”.   Abandoned by her family, Kya has raised herself in the North Carolina marshes, digging mussels and catching fish to trade at Jumpin’s Fish & Bait for basic necessities.  When the local golden boy, Chase Andrews, is found dead, Kya becomes the primary suspect.  I LOVED this book!  It is impossible to not fall in love with Kya.   Historical Fiction at its best.
