Review
'The opening few pages of The Insect Farm so grabbed me that I couldn't stop reading. This is one of the most original, surprising, and even shocking suspense thrillers that I've come across in a long time.' --David Morrell, bestselling author of Inspector of the Dead and Murder as a Fine Art
'Only rarely do a gripping psychological crime story and a literary writer's insight and masterful style coincide. But The Insect Farm has that distinction. You'll read this book fast, so compelling is the story, then-I guarantee-go back and read it again to savor the author's gift for rich, lyrical writing. A tour de force.' --Jeffery Deaver, author of Solitude Creek
'Cleverly plotted and compulsively readable.' --Mail on Sunday
'Chilling and suspenseful, rich and human.' --Lee Child
