Why read it?
1 author picked Under The Harrow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Flynn Berry’s first thriller opens with a stunningly rendered scene in which the protagonist, Nora, discovers the body of her sister, Rachel, who has been murdered.

From Nicole's list on domestic suspense that upends the meaning of family.
