Delia Owens – Where the Crawdads Sing

I started this book on 7/21/2022.  This book has been on the Best Sellers List for a long time.  The movie just came out and I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie.  I’m 18 chapters in and so far…it’s just OK for me.  Characters are well written, the landscape is described in lengthy detail and the “mystery” is just beginning.

Kya (a swamp girl) has a very rough life.  Family has abandon her when she was very young and she is forced to live in her shack in the swamp and learn life on her own.

I finished the book on 8/4/2022.  16 days.  Not a bad read.  The ending was kind of predictable.  Not a Scooby-Do mystery but….

Kendra is going to read the book next and then we will watch the movie.  I give the book a 8/10.
