Under the Harrow
Description
FROM FLYNN BERRY, AUTHOR OF REESE WITHERSPOON'S BOOK CLUB PICK NORTHERN SPY
How do you find your sister's killer when no one will help you?
When Nora takes the train from London to visit her sister in the Oxfordshire countryside, she expects to find her waiting at the station, or at home cooking dinner. But when she walks into Rachel's familiar house, what she finds is entirely different: her sister has been the victim of a brutal murder.
Stunned and adrift, Nora is haunted by the murder and the secrets that surround it, and as her fear turns to obsession, she becomes as unrecognisable as the sister her investigation uncovers.
