Where the Crawdads Sing

Delia Owens

(Little Brown, $22.99) Rumours about the ‘marsh girl’ have haunted Barkley Cove, on the North Carolina coast, for years. When Chase Andrews is found dead, locals suspect Kya Clark, aka the ‘marsh girl’, is the killer. But Kya is not what they say – she is sensitive, intelligent and has survived for years alone in the marsh. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself up to a new life, until the unthinkable happens. Painfully beautiful, this coming-of-age story and murder mystery has been a best-seller for two years. It’s a must-read if you haven’t yet.
