Why read it?
1 author picked Fallow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a masterclass in suspense, but it's the central brother duo, Paul and Mikey, that brought this novel to life for me.
I was engrossed by their unique relationship—their tension, their devotion, their secrets. Like Paul, I have a brother who was convicted and incarcerated, and it was fascinating to see that dynamic play out on the page in gripping, psychologically nuanced, and unexpected ways.
From Luke's list on Scottish-set thrillers to keep you up reading.
