Media Reviews

"A thrilling novel of psychological suspense…Under the Harrow contains similarities [to The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl]that will undoubtedly attract readers – but underneath its hard-driving, page-turning, compulsively readable narrative is a striking, original voice all Berry's own…[Her] precise sentences call to mind Hitchcock's meticulous storyboards and enrich the work with a cinematic scope." - Elizabeth Brundage, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)
 
"Exquisitely taut and intense... There's a subtle strain of Daphne Du Maurier's classic, Rebecca, in Under the Harrow... . [But] Under the Harrow is such a superbly crafted psychological thriller, it deserves to be celebrated for its own singular excellence." - Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post

"A brisk and chilling psychological study about grief, paranoia, and memory; a smart portrait of a complex sibling relationship; and, more than anything, an effective murder mystery...Berry takes some of the big social struggles that have animated the feminist movement and makes them specific and personal, exploring the rippling effects of power imbalances across individual lives. There's nothing pedantic about the taut, tricky narrative, though. Like solving the whodunit, finding the bigger meaning is simply a matter of paying attention." - The Atlantic, "The Best Books We Read in 2016"

"Flynn Berry is engaged here with the linked subjects of women, violence, and memory, in a fashion reminiscent of A.S.A. Harrison or Paula Hawkins...A slender tale full of polished, watchful prose, with an interesting kind of icy desperation in its bones." - USA Today

"Surprise-filled ... [Flynn Berry] has written a psychological-suspense work fit to hold its own with many recent best-sellers. And she's done it with a narrator whose possible unreliability is not arbitrary but consistent with this well-wrought book's conception, thereby heightening the considerable suspense." - The Wall Street Journal

"Flynn Berry's debut novel imbues the classic murder mystery with rich emotional depth, describing Nora's anguish and grief so acutely that the reader feels the emotional impact of her loss as deeply as the desire to know who did it. The result is an investigation not just of the crime but also of the fierce, complicated love that exists between sisters." - Oprah.com, "Page-Turners You'll Devour in One Sitting"
