Either Daniel's mother has gone mad, or his father is involved with a serious criminal conspiracy. All he has to go on is his mother's story and the evidence she brought with her on her escape from custody.  Who would you believe?

The Farm is a truly original, emotionally charged thriller that kept me thoroughly engrossed the whole way through. I devoured it in two sittings, although it would have been a one-sitting read if I hadn't been interrupted by dinner :)

This was recommended to me by another staff member, so it's a double-staff-pick!
