Jim's Review
🐛
This one burrows deep into the marshes of North Carolina and doesn't come up for air until the last page. Delia Owens writes nature so beautifully you'll want to crawl through the mud and feel the Spanish moss yourself. The mystery keeps you wriggling with anticipation, and that ending? Jaw, meet burrow floor. A stunning debut that proves sometimes the best stories come from the wild places.
