I received a free kindle copy of The Farm by Tom Rob Smith from NetGalley for fair review. I gave it almost five stars. This is an intense psychological thriller. I didn't know WHO to believe in the telling of the story. There were lots of twists & turns & all points of view seemed credible. It w...
