5.0 out of 5 stars
Subtle English mystery at its best.,

This review is from: Brat Farrar Hb (New Windmill) (Hardcover)
Josephine Tey is a master of mid-century British mysteries. Almost all of her books are terrific and Brat Farrar is the best of the bunch. Less precious than Sayers, Tey writes every bit as well and has an eye for description. She writes about mysteries in every day life among the privileged, although not aristocratic, class. This book is very clever, involving a lost heir and an appealing imposter. The author lets you know right away who the "bad guy" is, but what he did and how he did it are only slowly revealed. This book shares a theme with two other of Tey's mysteries (which I don't want to spoil by telling more of the plot ) Miss Pym Disposes and The Franchise Affair. I enthusiastically recommend all three.
