destrier 's review for:
Brat Farrar
by Josephine Tey
Echoes of the Great Gatsby, but much more charming, with Tey's characteristic mixture of British society gossip and ever-growing background dread.
This book (as with [b:Miss Pym Disposes|243399|Miss Pym Disposes|Josephine Tey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348697101l/243399._SY75_.jpg|517557]) is much more concerned with the mental states and motivations that make the characters who are caught between good and evil do things, and the struggles that they face, than details of plot or the truly evil characters. There are wonderful details, just not whodunnit details. It's an immaculately constructed psychological-social exploration rather than a mystery novel.
