Summary
A stranger enters the inner sanctum of the Ashby family posing as Patrick Ashby, the heir to the family’s sizeable fortune. The stranger, Brat Farrar, has been carefully coached on Patrick’s mannerisms, appearance and every significant detail of Patrick’s early life, up to his 13th year when he disappeared and was thought to have drowned himself. It seems as if Brat is going to pull off this most incredible deception until old secrets emerge that threaten to jeopardise the imposter’s plan and his very life.

Classic English tale
Excellent story. Well read and engaging. Not impossible to guess but the who and how keeps you intrigued.

Great old fashioned yarn
I know I’m biased as I love anything by Josephine Tey and Brat Farrar certainly doesn’t disappoint. This book is a real treat.

Sweet old fashioned story
Well read. Slightly old school language but a pleasant tale despite the dark sub-plots. Well worth a try.

One of my all time favourite novels
An excellent story beautifully written. It bears re-reading time and time again. Josephine Tey was a master.

New Josephine Tey fan
I've only recently become familiar with Josephine Tey and this is the second of her audio books I've listened to. Brilliant story. Well paced and well written. The quality of the narration perfectly matches the words.

A journey back to a more predictable time
Rural setting for an Agatha Christie type tale, when class distinction was very much more marked than today. Nothing too challenging, but nevertheless engaging, and worth a read. Good characterisation and likeable people in the main.

Guessed
Great story but found it too easy to guess. Probably because I’m used to modern crime novels’ twists.

Hidden Gem
This is a great story, interestingly structured with nicely (and amusingly) drawn characters. Tey fleshes out even the 'walk on' parts very well. The only weakness , such as it is, is the over hasty dash to the finish line. Josephine Tey is/was a marvellous talent. (More audio versions of her work needed - get onto it Audible.)

Excellent story well told
A story full of surprises, keeping the reader guessing. Good and believable characters and Carole Boyd is a superb narrator. Highly recommended.
