I'm so excited for our October book club pick. We will be reading the Sunday Times bestseller Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
It is actually Delia's first novel, but was published to critical acclaim and has already sold more than five million copies.
It is set in the fictional North Carolina coastal village of Barkley Cove in late 1969. It is part murder mystery and part coming of age novel following the story of handsome small town hero Chase Andrews who was found dead and the story of 'marsh girl' Kya Clark.
Mystery has always surrounded the girl who is seen less and less in the village and only attended school for one day. With this mystery comes rumours and accusations.
