Über diesen Titel

An eerie debut suspense novel that explores how little one man may know his own brother - and his own mind.

Each of the Maguire brothers has his own driving, single-minded obsession. For Jonathan it is his magnificent, talented, and desirable wife, Harriet. For Roger it is the elaborate universe he has constructed in a shed in their parents' garden, populated by millions of tiny insects. While Jonathan's pursuit of Harriet leads him to feelings of jealousy and anguish, Roger's immersion in the world he has created reveals a capability and talent that are absent from his everyday life.

Roger is known to all as a loving, protective, yet simple man, but the ever-growing complexity of the insect farm suggests that he is capable of far more than anyone believes. Following a series of strange and disturbing incidents, Jonathan begins to question every story he has ever been told about his brother - and if he has so completely misjudged Roger's mind, what else might he have overlooked about his family and himself?

The Insect Farm is a dramatic psychological thriller about the secrets we keep from those we love most and the extent to which the people closest to us are also the most unknowable. In his astounding debut, Stuart Prebble guides us through haunting twists and jolting discoveries as a startling picture emerges: One of the Maguire brothers is a killer, and the other has no idea.

Kritikerstimmen

"... 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, best-selling author of Inspector of the Deadand 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." (Jeffery Deaver, best-selling author of Solitude Creek)
"Chilling and suspenseful, rich and human." (Lee Child, number-one best-selling author of Personal)

Creepy crawly

This is billed as "mystery," and while discovering what really happened is a central element in the story, what really grabbed me were the relationships and obsessions that unfold amongst the protagonists. A surprising find, recommended to anyone who enjoys character-driven plots (and doesn't suffer from entomophobia.)
