The book was elaborate and a slow read, it took me some time to actually get myself to finish the book however it was descriptively and beautifully written. This wasn't like any other murder mystery I had ever read, it was expressive and highlighted a lot about nature and that gave a backstory to how the murder was actually covered up. The ending was exquisite and Delia Owens delicately eneded the book in a way that made me go back and re-read parts of the book that made more sense now that I had finished the book.
