Where the Crawdads Sing

Good pace with detailed but straightforward prose from the beginning. Really does give you a good sense of the setting and a clear/true picture. The imagery/visuals the writing paints and the story and evolution of the characters is very good. Things come together really well and the way the duelling timelines intersected (and what was done when they did) was clever. The legal stuff in the last 100 pages was also very well written, easy to follow, engaging, and had great flow. Strong resolution to everything and was tied up in a nice bow.
