This is a review of the audio version of The Farm by Tom Rob Smith. Dan must determine whether his mother has lost her mind or has stumbled onto a conspiracy to hide the murder of a young woman. When his mother shows up at Heathrow airport, carrying a leather bag with “evidence,” she asks only one thing of him - to allow her to tell her story her way, systematically. After agreeing to listen, Dan sits quietly as his mother opens the bag and displays her evidence, one piece at a time, explaining its significance as she does. Could evil exist in rural Sweden or is it merely the imagination of a woman in the midst of a mental breakdown?
Tom Rob Smith leads the reader on a journey through what can be madness or a threat to Tilde, his main character’s life. I listened closely, trying to determine whether Tilde is insane. Along with Daniel, I became her judge and jury. Often the evidence was confusing, but it was meant to be. I did not know who to trust; the evidence at times seemed outlandish and impossible and yet … Tom Rob Smith is a talented author. He kept me guessing to the end. He also left me wanting more. When a book leaves you wanting more you know it is good. The Farm is sure to please fans of mystery and suspense. I would be remiss if I did not mention the extremely talented readers, James Langton and Suzanne Toren. Their voices brought this book to life by contributing the perfect accents and nuances to the narration.
