Where the Crawdads Sing

Abandoned by her family, a young woman raises herself in the marshes outside a small town, finding limited support while remaining isolated from the community. When a former boyfriend is found dead, local suspicion and law enforcement focus on her, leading to a courtroom struggle shaped by her difficult past, relationships, and fight to survive.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like emotional romance, courtroom mysteries, and resilient outsiders, with echoes of Paper Towns; Not for you if you want a fast, tightly plotted thriller without melodrama.
