Synopsis
It was eight years since Patrick had vanished leaving a pitiful note, “I’m sorry but I can’t bear it any longer. Don’t be angry with me, Patrick.” Now it seemed, he had returned — just in time to claim the family inheritance. But if Patrick really had committed suicide, who was this mysterious young man claiming to be him and calling himself Brat Farrar?
Biography
Josephine Tey began writing full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. She died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust.

Brat Farrar is a cozy readby Fester

November 11, 2009: In the genre of the classical English murder mystery,
Brat Farrar has a twist. It is not about a murder, per se, but about the myserious Brat Farrar, a very likable young man who is pursuaded to pose as the long-lost brother of a wealthy family. Some of it is predictable, but it is an intriging story, well-written, and genteel.One of the best books I've read in a LONG timeby Anonymous

June 24, 2003: I have only just discovered Josephine Tey and am mourning her early passing from this earth. She only wrote a handful of books and while I have read about five previous to Brat Farrar, this is by far my favorite. The reader really likes the title character, despite his questionable choices at the onset of the book. We are allowed to fall in love with the family too. Somehow I started rooting for Brat about halfway through the book. This is a terrific read for one who enjoys novels about the English countryside and mysteries in general. Miss Tey is a remarkable wordsmith and I truly feel a part of her fictional cast while reading her books. I would love to find another author like her as I have about finished off all she has written.
