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’

The
Insect Farm is a cleverly plotted mystery of love, jealousy and suspense.
‘The idea for The Insect Farm came to me
because of a recurring dream that I had inadvertently killed someone and had to
spend my life trying to evade detection. I used to wake up, with a disturbing
uncertainty about whether or not the dream was true’ Stuart Prebble
Brothers
Jonathan and Roger Maguire each have an obsession. For Jonathan, it is his beautiful
and talented girlfriend Harriet. For Roger, it is the elaborate universe he has
constructed in a shed in their parents' garden, populated by millions of tiny
insects. But Roger lives in an
impenetrable world of his own and, after the mysterious death of their parents,
his brother Jonathan is forced to give up his studies to take care of him. This
obligation forces Jonathan to live apart from Harriet – further fuelling his already jealous nature. Their lives are abruptly shattered by a
sudden and violent death, and Jonathan is drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with
the police. Does Roger know more than he is letting on? A cleverly plotted
mystery with a shock ending, The Insect
Farm – Stuart Prebble’s awaited new novel – will linger long in the mind of
its readers.
