Where the Crawdads Sing

Excellent! Loved the story and the setting. I picked this one up because of the high ratings and rave reviews - and was not super excited: expecting a ‘Nell' (movie) redo - but it's so very much not ‘Nell'. Kya is her own unique character and the lovingly described marshland setting she lives in is also an important character in the book. The book is part coming of age, part romance, part murder mystery - and does all three quite well. Highly recommended.
