Reviews
" A Double Life is a thrilling page-turner, but it is also a compassionate and angry book: with forensic precision, Berry picks apart lives derailed by violence and the ways in which class privilege protects the guilty." --Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water "[An] engrossing psychological thriller . . . [that] builds to a shocking but satisfying conclusion. Berry tells this shattering story with surprising grace." -- Publishers Weekly "A compelling tale about class, privilege and the weight of guilt . . . That rare thing: a beautifully written page-turner." -- The Bookseller (London) Praise for Under the Harrow : "Underneath [the] hard-driving, page-turning, compulsively readable narrative is a striking, original voice all Berry's own . . . Nora's casual, seemingly arbitrary observations bring vivid tension to the prose and signify a truly intelligent writer at work . . . Riveting and surprising." --Elizabeth Brundage, The New York Times Book Review "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 "[Berry] has written a psychological-suspense work fit to hold its own with many recent bestsellers. 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 "A slender tale full of polished, watchful prose, with an interesting kind of icy desperation in its bones . . . 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." -- USA Today "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." -- The Atlantic , "The Best Books We Read in 2016", "Breathtaking . . . Berry writes thrillingly . . . about women raging against a world that protects cruel and careless men. . . . As desperate and consumed as our messy heroine may get in the process, Berry always lets her hold onto her humanity. . . . The writing is rich and moody . . . as blistering as it is lush . . . and the ending is as shocking as it is satisfying." --The New York Times Book Review ( Editors' Choice) "Psychological suspense has a new reigning queen." -- New York Journal of Books "Thrilling." --Laura Lippman, O Magazine , "Summer's Best True Crime-Inspired Thrillers" "Impossible to put down." -- Suspense "Elegantly written, artfully structured." --BBC, "The 10 Smartest Beach Reads of 2018" "Exquisite." -- The Seattle Times "Engrossing." --Good Housekeeping "[A] page-turner." --Entertainment Weekly "Heart-stopping." --Bustle "Suspense at its very best." -- CrimeReads , "Summer's Most Anticipated Crime, Mystery, and Thrillers" "A thrilling page-turner [and] a compassionate and angry book: with forensic precision, Berry picks apart lives derailed by violence and the ways in which class privilege protects the guilty." --Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water "Berry's clever, thrilling writing wound me in and left me heartbroken when I turned the last page and realized it was over." -- Fiona Barton, author of The Widow "What a book! A skillful and compelling exploration of families, crime, and class." -- Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go " A Double Life is more than just a taut thriller that will keep you poised at the edge of your seat: it's also a deeply considered examination of women, violence, and memory. Do yourself a favor and read this astonishing novel." -- Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder "[An] engrossing psychological thriller . . . [that] builds to a shocking but satisfying conclusion. Berry tells this shattering story with surprising grace." -- Publishers Weekly " A Double Life is that rare thing: a beautifully written page-turner." --The Bookseller (London), " A Double Life is a thrilling page-turner, but it is also a compassionate and angry book: with forensic precision, Berry picks apart lives derailed by violence and the ways in which class privilege protects the guilty." --Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train "What a book!

Synopsis
"A thrilling page-turner." --Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train "Breathtaking . . . As shocking as it is satisfying." -- The New York Times Book Review A riveting and sophisticated page-turner inspired by one of the most shocking true crimes in 20th century Britain: the Lord Lucan case. "A better person would for-give him. A different sort of better person would have found him years ago." Claire is a hardworking doctor leading a simple, quiet life in London. She is also the daughter of the most notorious murder suspect in the country, though no one knows it. Nearly thirty years ago, while Claire and her brother slept upstairs, a brutal crime was committed in her family's townhouse. The next morning, her father's car was found abandoned near the English Channel, with bloodstains on the front seat. Her mother insisted she'd seen him in the house that night, but his powerful, privileged friends maintained his innocence. The first lord accused of murder in more than a century, he has been missing ever since. When the police tell Claire they've found him, her carefully calibrated existence begins to fracture. She doesn't know if she's the daughter of a murderer or a wronged man, but Claire will soon learn how far she'll go to finally find the truth. Loosely inspired by one of the most notorious unsolved crimes of the 20th century - the Lord Lucan case - A Double Life is at once a riveting page-turner and a moving reflection on women and violence, trauma and memory, and class and privilege. Named a Must-Read by Entertainment Weekly , Bustle , O Magazine, BBC , CrimeReads, and PureWow, "A thrilling page-turner." --Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train "Breathtaking . . .
