Where the Crawdads Sing

Description

By Delia Owens

For years the rumours about the Marsh Girl have circulated in Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So when Chase Andrews is found dead in late 1969, the locals know immediately who to suspect.

Kya Clark is not what they say. Abandoned as a child, she raised herself in the marsh, taught by the gulls and the tide line. When two young men from the town take an interest in her, she lets one of them in, and then the unthinkable happens.
