Trivia / Where the Crawdads Sing

• California Doubling: The story is set in North Carolina, while the movie adaptation was shot in Louisiana.
• The CSI Effect: the narrative relies on the idea that you can get fingerprint evidence from a rotting fire tower in a swamp, subject to the degrading effects of local weather, with such reliability that the failure to get prints proves that somebody destroyed evidence by wiping down all the touchable surfaces on the fire tower before detectives got there.
• Fake American: British actors Daisy Edgar-Jones and Harris Dickinson portray Americans Kya and Chase, respectively.
