What is "The Truth About Rookery Farm" about?
The utterly addictive thriller from Richard & Judy Bestseller, Saskia Sarginson
It was meant to be their safe haven…
When Abby and her teenage daughter, Maya, escape an abusive relationship, they move to a remote farm in the Peak District, to live with Abby’s best friend. At first, it feels too good to be true. Fresh air, freedom, and a community of like-minded people – it’s a perfect new start.
But then Maya vanishes from her bed, without a trace… And their safe haven begins to look anything but.
As freezing weather sets in, the police dismiss Maya as a runaway. But Abby can’t believe it. Someone must know where her precious daughter is.
Except, if she’s going to save her, Abby must expose a terrifying reality – nobody at Rookery Farm is who they seem to be. And nobody is safe…
