Brat Farrar Audiobook (Unabridged)

" It's a classic. Searched for it for years, and finally found a battered copy at a car boot sale. "

" A classic tale of a young man posing as another who finds he's in for more danger than he counted on thanks to the masquerade. Like all of Tey's work, this is grounded deeply in character, filled with nuance, yet suspenseful. "

" Ooh- rural England, a twin who vanished years ago returns to claim his title...only he's an imposter! And he's the one most interested in unraveling what happened years ago. Plus horses. "

" although the final outcome is just too easy to see in the beginning, the whole story is interesting. "

" A wonderful book, full of love from an author who died too young. "

" Tey is a unique mystery writer in that her characters and story telling are certainly more interesting than her actual mysteries. Here, you know the key to the puzzle just a few chapters in, but you're still shocked and horrified with the reveal in the final 10 pages. "

" My favorite mystery, ever. Followed closely by MISS PYM DISPOSES and THE FRANCHISE AFFAIR. "

" It was OK - fairly obvious "whodunnit" from early on, and a bit implausible, but not bad. "

" worth reading for the characterizations! (vague spoilers in comments.) "

" This is one of those mysteries that I love, where there's good writing and a snappy secret. Brits are great at that! Give me this book on a rainy day and I will be satisfied! "

" Josephine Tey is an interesting mystery writer. A good read. "

" I loved this book and try to re-read it every couple of years. It is great. "

" My aunt gave this to me because she knows I love Agatha Christie and she thought it was similar. I disagree. It was a mystery but not very mysterious..... It was good enough and an interesting plot. "

" I enjoyed this book, but it was a bit predictable. "

" The heir of the aristocratic Ashby family has disappeared. One day, out of the blue, the boy reappears. Is this the missing heir or an imposter? Full of suspense and tension. "

" Entertaining plot, and charming characters. I do think this would have been better as an epic - The story (apart from the horse show) seemed rushed, telescopic. I wanted the different relationships explored more deeply. "

" Charming British mystery. My favourite Tey novel. "

" How delightful! This is an english mystery with deep characters, in the manner of Agatha Christie's The Hollow, where the mystery is besides the point. I'd love to find other work by her to try. "

" Very clever book. Seemed a strange convention to give the reader so much of the information so early on, but, if course, there were other mysteries that had not been revealed. In fact, the first two thirds of the book was like one long red herring. "

" Awesome. A little bit like The Talented Mr. Ripley in that you really empathize with the character who's doing the wrong things. "

" I read this book over and over when I was in my teens. "

" Wonderful plot! Would make a great movie. "

" A little gnome at an S. F. mystery bookstore turned me on to Josephine Tey. She's a British novelist with a flair with a perfect light touch. I gobbled this one up. "
