Where the Crawdads Sing: A Novel by Delia Owens
🛶 A lyrical mystery rooted in nature, survival, and the human heart.
For years, Kya Clark, the mysterious “Marsh Girl,” has survived alone in the quiet marshes outside a small Southern town. Abandoned by her family and shunned by the community, she finds solace in nature—until the unthinkable happens. When a local man is found dead, Kya becomes the main suspect in a case that stirs up old secrets and challenges everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and survival.
Where the Crawdads Sing is a stunning blend of mystery, romance, and coming-of-age storytelling, with writing as wild and beautiful as the marshlands themselves. A Reese’s Book Club Pick and a #1 New York Times Bestseller, it’s a must-read for fans of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Alone, and The Secret Life of Bees.
