About this listen

A stranger enters the inner sanctum of the Ashby family posing as Patrick Ashby, the heir to the family’s sizeable fortune. The stranger, Brat Farrar, has been carefully coached on Patrick’s mannerisms, appearance and every significant detail of Patrick’s early life, up to his 13th year when he disappeared and was thought to have drowned himself. It seems as if Brat is going to pull off this most incredible deception until old secrets emerge that threaten to jeopardise the imposter’s plan and his very life.

Beautifully written. Beautifully read

Well read. Slightly old school language but a pleasant tale despite the dark sub-plots. Well worth a try.

Sweet old fashioned story

Great story but found it too easy to guess. Probably because I’m used to modern crime novels’ twists.

Guessed

This is a great story, interestingly structured with nicely (and amusingly) drawn characters. Tey fleshes out even the 'walk on' parts very well. The only weakness , such as it is, is the over hasty dash to the finish line. Josephine Tey is/was a marvellous talent. (More audio versions of her work needed - get onto it Audible.)

Hidden Gem

A story full of surprises, keeping the reader guessing. Good and believable characters and Carole Boyd is a superb narrator. Highly recommended.

I have owned several copies of this book for over forty years; it is my favourite of all Tey's works. Have listened to it now at least twice. Carole Boyd does a beautiful job narrating. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.
