Nora's world was shattered in an instant. She walks into her sister's home only to find Rachel dead, the victim of a brutal attack. The police appear stymied by the investigation but Nora is determined her sister's killer will be caught. Will Rachel's killer be found before Nora's grief completely overwhelms her?

Nora is a somewhat frustrating narrator at times, as she rambles quite a bit. Her train of thought can be hard to follow as she sinks further and further into an almost obsessive state of grief. Her perspective is quite skewed as Nora is a perfect example of the unreliable narrator. However, UNDER THE HARROW is intriguing in spite of, or perhaps even as a result of, Nora's unreliability. We question her own motives and reasoning, wondering what secrets lurk beneath the seemingly close friendship of the two sisters.

The story of the murder is somewhat straightforward, once you reach the ending. The journey, however, is quite convoluted. Nora gets fixated, both on a prior attack on Rachel from years past as well as the current associates of Rachel. The inappropriate involvement with the police detective seemed a bit unnecessary, as it muddles the storyline.

UNDER THE HARROW is a short but fascinating psychological thriller. I couldn't stop from reading, even as I questioned Nora's sanity throughout the storyline. Readers who enjoy stories with an unreliable narrator taking them on various twists and turns will appreciate Flynn Berry's narrative style.
