Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is a bestselling fiction novel that combines a coming-of-age narrative with a murder mystery set against the backdrop of the North Carolina marshes. On The Book Review, Gilbert Cruz and Alexandra Alter discussed the unprecedented rise of the novel, noting its massive sales figures, staying power on bestseller lists, and the significant propulsion it received from Reese Witherspoon's celebrity book club. Elizabeth Harris and Reed Hastings also mentioned the book's dominant position on the fiction charts, with Hastings jokingly noting that he picked it up simply because it was the number one bestseller.
