Review of 'Marsh Queen' on 'LibraryThing'
I really enjoyed this atmospheric novel, both in terms of the evocative Florida panhandle setting and the way the protagonist's work as a bird illustrator for the Smithsonian is woven into the story. It's elegantly written and does a good job of balancing deep dives into the characters' family relationships and the mystery surrounding the protagonist's father's suicide. So top marks for setting, character development, plot, and writing style.
