MINI REVIEW: Where the Crawdads Sing - Delia Owens

 Dates read: May 30, 2021-May 31, 2021

Genres: Historical, Mystery

Audience: Adult

Trigger/Content Warnings: Domestic abuse, sexual assault, rape, child abuse, racism, racial slurs (view more here).

Synopsis: Dubbed the “Marsh Girl,” Kya has always been an outsider in her own town. This didn’t bother her much, until one day she is blamed for murder.

Review: Although the backstory is a bit much, I feel like this aspect didn’t have much of an effect on me. Besides the beginning, the pacing was fine and fitting for the story. This book had a lot of imagery, which really helped with this particular story. Besides the obvious murder mystery, this also explored themes such as coming-of-age, loss, independence, and love.

Read this... if you like murder mysteries and/or historical fiction!
