Bøger af Delia Owens

Opvæksten på marsken i udkanten af den lille by Barkley Cove på North Carolinas kyst har givet Kya Clark kaldenavnet “marskpigen” hos de lokale. Efterladt af sin mor og søskende hos sin alkoholiserede og voldelige far lever Kya en barsk tilværelse, hvor hun må lære at klare sig selv. På trods af hendes status som udstødt, får hendes naturlige skønhed to af byens unge mænd til at få øjnene op for Kya, og et nyt liv åbner sig for hende - men rygterne om marskpigen er mange, og da liget af det lokale hotshot Chase Andrews dukker op, er de lokale ikke sene til at mistænke Kya og det skrøbelige liv hun har kæmpet så hårdt for at opbygge er i fare.Med sin gribende og stormfulde fortælling om overgangen fra barn til voksen viklet ind i en spændende mordgåde er ude hvor flodkrebsene synger  en fængslende roman, som udtrykker en nutidig og samfundskritisk bekymring for vores forståelse af naturen.
