Shawn Towner reviewed Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Review of 'Where The Crawdads Sing' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A beautifully written book. I really enjoyed the energy of the book at the beginning, when the narrative flips back and forth between a young girl living largely on her own in the swamp and a police investigation of the death of the local town's high school football hero. As the novel goes on, the focus shifts more predominately to Kya, the swamp girl's, story, and the pacing of the novel suffered as a result.
