quietjenn 's review for:

Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey
4.0

very smart mystery/family study of an english family and interloper who pretends to be a long-lost member for the inheritence. which is an incredibly reductive statement and the book is really so much more. the only trouble with reading classics like that is that a billion books/tv shows/etc. have ripped them off in the interim, so some of the suspense was killed. really admirable though, and makes me want to read more tey.
