Where the Crawdads Sing

Chapter 14
Summary

The investigation in 1969 of Chase Andrew’s death has results that conclude Chase died as a consequence of the extensive fall from the tower, and that someone covered up the tracks and fingerprint evidence that should be present. Chase had red fibers on him that were foreign to anyone at the time, and it appears the search for the item for which they come from, is now the new focus.

Analysis

“Muggy heat blurred the morning into a haze of no sea, no sky.” Owens conveys an image where heat has made everything blurry, much like the case was blurred in its apparent simplicity. It appeared simple, but once you took a closer look, you could identify the lines of a more in-depth case through the muddiness.
