A Goodreads user asked this question about Where the Crawdads Sing:
So, if she did it, then she WAS the "guy" in disguise on the bus? It was kind of a disappointing ending for me. The author did a really good job in court showing how she didn't do it - that by the time it came around to the ending it seemed so unbelievable.

The author may have included some beautiful descriptions of nature and excerpts of poems scattered throughout the novel, but the story changes pace far too many times, causing the novel to feel inauthentic and unrealistic as a whole; at times it felt like I was reading books written by 3 completely different authors!

The story ended abruptly and it felt like the author ran out of ideas, shoving everything together “neatly” in the last few pages. And whilst the solution to the key murder mystery in the novel was revealed to us in a brilliant way, I agree that it didn’t seem very believable.

I’m personally just glad to be onto another book!! (less)
