I adored this book. You were never sure just how everything was going to play out, though you grew more and more certain of a few things as you read. The ending was perfect and everything felt well-earned. Brat was a charming character even as he grappled with immorality.

It didn't matter one bit that I solved the mystery in the very early chapters, I really liked this little gem by Josephine Tey. The two books of hers read to date are all about the journey. Besides the romantic angle (which is peripheral and not at all corny), there is nothing formulaic about Tey's novels...and yet...there is, in a good way. I plan to continue my Tey marathon!
Quite good - wonderful characters - wish the last third didn't feel so rushed and abrupt.

Written in 1949, This is an old-fashioned , cozy mystery about an impostor who convinces a wealthy family that he is their son who died in his childhood. Actually, there is quite a twist at the end.

This started a bit slow and way too many characters were introduced in the first chapter. But after the main character, Brat, showed up, I was hooked. It became a fun and slow paced mystery with a likable MC. I recommend it.
