maplessence 's review for:

Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey

5.0

---

I've not been a fan of every Tey I have ever read & sometimes a reread can disappoint - but not in this case! Brat Farrar's temptation into a life of assumed identity (or is it???) & intrigue thrills every step of the way. Every detail of this book works perfectly & meshes together. We take every careful step with Brat & the scene where

Spoiler

Brat has a conversation with his drunk supposed twin Simon

is a quite wonderful example of taut suspense.

If you don't read any other works by Tey, please read this one - you won't regret it.
