"Just finished Where the Crawdads Sing. I've picked one up by Charles Martin When Crickets Cry. It has the same southern town vibe, but I'm only through the first few chapters."

"Several years ago when my daughter was around 10 we both had the flu. A big snow fell and our power was out. We laid under the covers while I read her this book. We both really enjoyed the book."
