After she was acquitted and returns to the cabin, she was relieved she was angry. Yes, its real and now Federally protected wonder where one could encounter many now-endangered species. 4 1/2 stars Oh and the Firefly poem is just her observation on what may have happened to Chase and his wife, not reflection on Kya and Chases relationship. She is nicknamed the Marsh Girl because she lives in the nearby swampy marshes on the outskirts of town. No,he didnt knew for sure but may have doubts..he was pretty sure Kya would make it out of the case and they would soon be exploring lagoons..So he didnt believe she would have murdered chase but the evidences somehow could atleast convince him to have doubts..which he might never confront to her due to fear of losing her. My biggest disappointment from this book was that, even though you know Kya ate natural, and was a very slim woman (who I would imagine being in great health) she died way too early in life. One with the fibers and the other with the hat. What color hair did kya have. But I cant recall her motive for killing Chase.

Female insects, Kya thought, know how to deal with their lovers. [lovers is plural !] Easy to understand & very helpful. thats the only thing that makes sense. I assume the old lady on the 2:30 a.m. bus from Barkley Cove to Greenville was Kya in disguise. Surely Mr Jumpin warned Tate of Chase possibly hurting Kya. Kyas full name is Catherine Danielle Clark. When Kyas books get published, we see Jumpin placing them for sale in the window of his store. Is so, do you know the title and author? The comment by Jumpin is definitely an error that the author and editor didnt catch. Does anyone have her exact line?

I saw someone comment about the possibility of a mental breakdown and split personalities. I have been looking this up for a couple of days now and yours was the first comment I found in this regard. Even if the author were to tell me in person, I dont believe the character of Kya was capable of planning such an intricate plan. In the months before he eventually tricks her into having sex with him, it seems he actually is falling in love with her, for the first time able to be a real person and see the world in a new way.

Was the necklace hidden under floorboards in her book? I think Delia is reliving her relationship with her own Mom through the title. Another thought about why Kya took back the necklace: when she first found the shell, she remarked how unusual and rare (and by inference, quite special) to find it in those waters.
